former Wade Chambers, Leeton

former Wade Chambers, LeetonYesterday I wrote about the Wade Hotel and Leslie Augustus Burton Wade (1864-1915), the man who the pub is named after.

Next door to the Wade Hotel is the former Wade Chambers. Like the pub, the chambers also date from 1937 and were designed by the same architects, Rudder & Grant of Sydney in conjunction with local architect, G W A Welch.

Unfortunately some of the shopfronts have been modified but the one occupied by Don Brown Financial Services Group is exquisite and looks original to me.
