Summary

[General description] Shiny new cars can be seen in the showroom windows of two motor firms which occupy this new building which is Art Deco in its design. Two smart cars are parked at the kerb near a petrol bowser. On the right a two storey house, huddled against the new building, is for sale with agents F.W. Bullock and Company. It will probably make way for more new development. [On back of photograph] 'Acres 263 and 264 / Franklin Street.
