| 説明 | Notes: Tabrett’s Building, 34-38 Katoomba Street, Federation Free Style/Anglo-Dutch pediment above parapet.In 1901 the land was owned by E Marx who was probably associated with the theatre group adjoining. By December 1904 the current building had been constructed on the site with three shops, the builder was James Ray (Jim) Anderson for the owner J Tabrett. The Tabrett family were well respected in Katoomba and operated several prominent businesses, including auctioneers, estate agents, the Mountain Coaching and Motoring Co. - tour agents taking bookings for Jenolan Caves; and a boot shop. Tabrett and Co were still operating an estate agency from this building in 1954. The Art Deco style Café Florida operated in the central shop in the early 1940s and its shop front remains intact although the original dining booths, lighting and furnishings were removed during refurbishment for a new business in 1993. James Anderson, a Scottish carpenter, arrived in Katoomba with his wife Alice in 1903 and worked as a master builder for the next 40 years, his three sons Raymond, Leslie and Victor, also becoming builders. His daughters Alice and Enid were the first waitresses to be employed at the Paragon Café outside of the Simos family. James is marked with an X in the above photo.Format: B&W photo by George KitchDate Range: 1904Licensing: Attribution, share alike, creative commons. .Repository: Blue Mountains Library library.bmcc.nsw.gov.au Part of: Local Studies Collection - LS Images PF500Provenance: Donation |
