General notes:
Bourke Street Firm Rebuilds,PATERSON's Pty. Ltd., of Bourke Street, are about to undertake a big rebuilding scheme on modern lines. The existing furniture display rooms were recently added to by the erection of an extra floor in reinforced concrete. Since then the properties to the west, 156-158 Bourke Street, and to the north of the existing warehouse have been purchased. , Most of these buildings will be demolished, together with part of the existing building, and will be merged into one big structure, giving a total floor area of approximately 29.000 square feet. The sketch shows the design of the Bourke Street facade, which will be modern in style with the vertical piers emphasised. a large electric sign has been made an integral part of the de sign of the building. The total frontage to Bourke Street will be more than 53 feet. The new premises will be five stories in height, the top floors being of reinforced concrete. Staircases throughout the building will be renewed, together with offices, and a luncheon-room will be provided for the employees.
