| "Paul Reader" is a winter sport's store at 83 York Street, in the city. The firm was established in 1956 by Paul Reader, who tried most of the major north-south streets, before settling on York Street in 1987, when son took over from father. Classified by the National Trust, this ten-storey building was built in 1913 with a brick and sandstone facade. It was refurbished by Lipman's in 2001 and is currently valued at $90m. The dyadic neon sign caught my eye. They are not much in fashion nowadays, this style of neon sign. There is a very small winter sport industry in Australia, as the arrival of snow is unreliable, as is its quantity when it does arrive. |  |

The style of the building certainly does appeal to me!
Reminds me of the golf neon sign down near central.
Sadly, Joan, the golf sign near Central was removed , and the entire block is in the process of being redevoped. I think I may have read (perhapos on Jim's blog) that the sign is in storage, ready to be reinstalled. I will ask him.
