The Dymocks Building (or “The Block”) as it was known, was conceived by architect F.H.B. Wilton in the “Interwar Commercial Palazzo Style”. It was to house the “less elite” or “bazaar” style of retailing, with specialty businesses offering a wide range of more unusual goods and services. At street-level it was of course the home for the bookshop which has developed into the store you see today.
The iconic Dymocks Building hides in plain sight on one of Sydney’s busiest streets. Located on one of Sydney’s best shopping strips, George Street, there is so much more to The Dymocks Building than a book store found on the ground floor. The heritage listed ground floor foyer leads shoppers to an elevator providing access to 10 levels of specialty stores and businesses. With the best variety of jewellery, wedding, fashion, health, beauty, professional services and training courses all in one place and are accessed by the lift lobby.
