Ronald Whitaker his brother, who had the contract to build it was helped by Norman Burley and, it is said, by Edric Clayton, cousin of Herbert and Ronald. A second peak at the front was added later by the Union Steamship Company. Various businesses to occupy the premises included a tea room, a movie theatre, salaal plant, Men's Wear shop, Doctor's office, roller skating rink and a residential apartment.
