by G M Aylwin, W T Benslyn and H Falkner, and is the result of energetic local
activity to improve existing buildings and meet traffic problems in a narrow
space, in harmony with the best of the C17 and Cl8 character of the neighbourhood.
The building was completed in separate stages beginning with the completion
of the western end in 1932.
