Summary

[General description] Hoopers Furnishers' new three storey building exudes confidence, its style reflecting the extreme optimism of the times before the Wall Street crash in October 1929. Its upstairs section features tall arched windows and the corner site enables it to have a large expanse of plate glass windows. There are cantilever verandahs on both street frontages. [On back of photograph] 'Acre 76 / East corner of Leigh Street and Hindley Street / September 11th 1929 / Frontage of Hooper's new building: Hindley Street frontage is 11.5 yards and Leigh Street frontage is 29.5 yards'.
