General notes:

Building Type: WarehousePeriod; Date : Inter-War ; 1928History : The records of the Melbourne City Council indicate that a building permit application was made on 17 May 1928 for the erection of a factory at 21-25 Bouverie Street, Carlton to cost £9,813. This building replaced a smaller brick factory that had been erected on the site only four years earlier. The present building first appears in the Sand & McDougall directory for 1930, designated as "storage" for the Modern Printing Company. This firm styled as 'printer an manufacturing stationers", had their head office nearby at 19 Leicester Street. Subsequent directories reveal that the company continued to use the Bouverie Street building until the early 1970's.Intactness / Condition : Good
