Summary

Currie Street, south side, February 16th 1930, left side of Johnstone House is 19 yards west of Bloor Court and frontage is 10 yards. Johnstone House was erected in 1929. The site was acquired in September 1928 by electrical engineer Edward A Johnstone. Johnstone of Unbehaun & Johnstone Ltd, lost no time in engaging the services of architect Laybourne-Smith of Bagot, Jory & Laybourne-Smith to design a new building for the site. By November 1928, the architects had completed plans and called tenders for the erection of a three-storey building to replace that previously occupied by SC Eyles & Co. The tender was awarded to HSC Jarvis, of Croydon, with the final cost of construction noted as £6,247. In July of 1929, Unebehaun & Johnston Ltd were leasing the building and did so until December 1946. For view of building formerly on the site see B 4821.
