History

Since the 1890s, this site has been used for various commercial undertakings. Thomas McLaughlin is recorded in 1897 as a firewood dealer, with subsequent listings in the Post Office directories as a fuel merchant and lime merchant. In 1909, Mr J Harvey, a cab proprietor, is listed, possibly sharing the premises with McLaughlin. There were also stables on the site, possibly before the listed date of 1919-1920. In 1919 Mr R L Barry, a dairy producer, operated nearby, either to the west of McLaughlin, or behind, where Bertram Street was once located, before the construction of the Northbridge Tunnel in 1999.The place has been recently used as a car wash, cafe and function hall.
