History: 

I.G.Anderson built this block of flats for Hugh, Patrick and Frank Ryan, brothers and pastoralists with extensive holdings all over Australia. The brothers teamed up with Anderson again at 29 and 37 George Street, and at two of the blocks which make up the Garden Avenue complex. Each flat included extensive built-in cabinetry including dressing table, wardrobe, linen and coat cupboard, shaving cupboard, and metre cupboard, as well as kitchen cupboards. The bathroom floors, entry steps, main stairs and landings were all finished in terrazzo; while the balconies and porches utilised a granolithic finish.

Owners and occupiers:
