The Gibbs building, which has the debossed lettering of GIBBS'S A.D. 1906 BUILDING on the east side of the facade, is believed to have been constructed between 1898-1902. A Federation Free Classic architecture style, which was particularly popular during the 1890s to around 1915, it's a two-storey commercial building with a battlement parapet.
A parapet is the low wall projecting from the edge of the roof, whilst the battlement tends to be the top part of the wall that resembles teeth, where soldiers were protected during a battle in a castle.
Located in Northbridge, William Street was known as Hutt Street until sometime around 1878.
The Northbridge restaurant and nightclub was once a popular Egyptian restaurant, known for its Mediterranean cuisine and shisha bar but has remained vacant and home to squatters and graffers for as long as 10 years!
The building was recently on fire in March 2025, for the third time. It's believed to have been lit by squatters, whether accidentally (likely) or intentionally, as they were in the building at the time of it was lit.
