Summary

[General description] This modern three storey corner building exudes confidence. Its lines are plain but there are art deco touches in the leadlight detail in the top storey windows and the decorative parapet bearing the name of the company. It is only just completed as the windows are still whitewashed and shops on the ground floor have 'to let' signs in their windows. The firm was founded by Alfred George Healing in 1896, initially producing bicycles, but later diversified into manufacturing radios, television sets, refrigerators and washing machines. Two cars are seen on the road in the foreground, one a flat-bed utility. [On back of photograph] 'Acre 210 / South west corner of Pirie Street and Hindmarsh Square / September 1928 / These buildings were erected in 1928. For views of shops formerly on the site see B 3497 and B 4772 / Pirie Street frontage: 33 yards / Pulteney Street frontage: 37 yards'.
