Introduction

Imagine a time when life was so certain that when you built a building for your business you were confident enough in the future that you put the name of the business into the very fabric of the building.

This is not a time of mergers and takeovers of globalisation and restructure, this is when life was more local and certain.

There are a number of such buildings around and so this blog is an attempt to record some of them and more importantly a bit of the history of the business which by and large are no longer with us.

If you know something about any of these business please add a comment. You can do this without having to sign up for anything and can be anonomous if you prefer.

Half a Hotel

f This is 105 Princes St. Not only did the business not survive but neither did half the building hence only half the sign remains. Would love to know which hotel.
14/9/10 So I believe this is the Central Hotel which lost its licence to sell liquor in 1909 which probably explains why the recent memorys of this hotel from people I have spoken to were only as a boarding hotel and not as a pub.
