  Does anyone know if Grace building was just built as a shop or was it offices or a hotel too? It is such a great building.

  More - www.teachingheritage.nsw.edu.au/b_expressing/wb2_lumby.html , including this - " It was intended that the building serve as "the showpiece of the company. It was never planned as a department store. Instead it was an imaginative concept for the 'trading post'. York Street was the traditional heart of the softgoods trade where buyers scampered through to the great warehouse that dominated the street. The Grace Building was to offer facilities for buyers and sellers to meet and discuss samples." Indeed, it was generally thought that on the completion of the Harbour Bridge and the city railway that York Street would become one of the principal retail thoroughfares of the city, rivalling the supremacy of George and Pitt streets and pushing out the wholesalers in the area. The ground and first floors of the Grace Building were, however, fitted out as retail areas where home furnishings were sold. Expansive glazed shop windows invited the gaze of passersby and doors on each street invited them to enter. "

  Why don't people dress this fabulously anymore?

• Donna Westerman Bowen said:

  People don't dress this way anymore because it doesn't show enough flesh.
