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.

Scott and Wilson

This is Cnr St Andrew and Great King Street, Dunedin.

Scott and Wilson were manufacturers of Blinds as is fairly obvioius from this Otago Daily Times December 1892 advert.



However that sadly is all I can tell you about them at this stage. A very handsome building none the less and I would have been a long time guessing that this was the business conducted in such a building.

Another great old advert
