Originally utilised as a grocery store upon being first built in c1890, our headquarters currently houses a restaurant on level 1 whilst the firm occupies level 2. When John and family acquired the freehold in 2005, the building was lovingly and respectfully renovated and extended. In 2020, the firm undertook a renovation of level 2 with the help of interior design and today, the building continues to stand as only one of a handful of original buildings on Burgundy Street, Heidelberg and surrounding areas.
