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.References:
