HISTORICAL NOTE: the 1910 Directory and Ordnance Survey map
shows that the building was probably designed as a combined
hotel and office complex with shop units on the ground floor;
the Infirmary Street offices were occupied by JS Fry and Sons
Ltd, cocoa and chocolate manufacturers, together with
Wildblood and Ward, Stationers, and the Vulcan Boiler and
General Insurance Company; the Hotel de Ville with a
restaurant run by Miss Mary Annie Roulstone faced King Street.
