Inscription. This large block, built by Fred McClive, was one of the City's first multiple use buildings. It housed stores, offices, and apartments on separate floors and had a bowling alley and billard parlour in the basement. It was purchased by merchant Jacob Rosberg in 1927 and for years its ground floor was occupied by a department store. Its broad facade has a classic Beaux Arts styling which was achieved with the application of moulded and glazed sections of terra cotta tile.
