Office and multi-storey retail arcade building in George Street designed by architect F H B Wilton, on the site occupied in part by Dymocks bookshop since 1890. Formally known as The Block, it was built in Commercial Palazzo style and reflected the retail optimism and less elite bazaar concept of 1920s shopping. The site had earlier been occupied by the Royal Hotel and Theatre Royal.
