Summary

[General description] View west along a muddy and rutted Grenfell Street towards King William Street with Currie Street in the distance past Gouge's Fountain. The offices of the Register are partially obscured by trees. On the extreme left is Bennett & Barton, Land Auction Mart. [On back of photograph] 'Acres 141 and 142 / Grenfell Street / south side / Division between the acres is roughly the boundary between Bennett & Barton's and the two storey building next door / About 1866 / Bennett & Barton's were here for a few months only, their names not appearing in directories and rate books in this situation / The presence of Gouge's fountain means that the date is prior to 1868 and a comparison with B 105 where Bennett & Barton and the Town Hall tower are associated gives a date subsequent to the latter part of 1865 / The erection of the two storey building next to Bennett & Barton's was begun in 1865 (See B 5099) / It was still in process of construction in February 1966 (Register February 24, 1866, 5c).
