notes |
The Block was built by the Dymock’s firm in 1926-32 following the demolition of the Royal Hotel and shopping arcade. The enclosed shopping promenade above Dymocks retains terrazzo floors, silky oak shopfronts, and leadlights in the shop windows. It is a hidden gem of Sydney retailing.(it has been recently modernised and lost some of its charm). |
