A magnificent little find housed in the Nicholas building in Swanston Street Melbourne.
I love this little shop, as well as the many others in this building. I was looking for a few extras for my latest project, and remembered buying thread some time back. So much to see here. Well worth a look.......
A snippet of some of the other shops.......
Now, a little bit on the Nicholas Building.
The Nicholas Building in Swanston Street Melbourne was home to businesses associated with the Flinders Lane garment trade, commercial artists, medical practitioners and architects, in the city of Melbourne. The building was completed in 1926 and the Architecture style was influenced by the " Chicago Style" of architecture.
........a sort of bit of a connection to this building. The Nicholas family also owned a lovely property in Lilydale. The property was owned at that stage by people by the name of Davies.....My parents worked and lived on the property and today the house is still standing....just a little bit of useless information that my children or grandchildren might be interested in one day.
My mother used to let me have a day off school once a month and we would go into the city for her to pay an insurance in Collins Street. I loved strutting along Collins Street with her, and loved the National Mutual building. Another smell I remember. I would sometimes have my hair cut at Jill Webb, I think in the Nicholas Building. Mum also went to a chiropodist in this building.
Only just recently do they no longer have the lift lady.....always informative!
