Summary

Collin & Company premises, North Terrace west, corner of Gresham Street. Frontage: 8 and a half yards. This prominent corner building has three storeys and a basement By the early 1900s, the company had secured sole agency rights for a large number of European and American exporters of foodstuffs, iron and steel, and oil. The most significant of these appears to have been the Shell Transport and Trading Co Ltd (forerunner of Royal Dutch Shell) for which Gollin and Co handled the distribution of oil and kerosene in most Australian states until 1905 when Shell established its first Australian branch.
