| Abstract | The Walter Reid Centre has long maintained a dominating, yet transformative, presence in the landscape of Rockhampton. At the turn of the nineteenth century, two warehouse buildings were constructed for Walter Reid & Co retailers and wholesalers. The first was constructed in 1893 and designed by Brisbane architect Richard Gailey, while a supplementary building (the current Walter Reid Cultural Centre) was constructed in 1902 by Rockhampton architects Hutton & Hockings. Lead architect Edwin Moreton Hockings also designed the Rockhampton Girls Grammar School and the Rockhampton Town Hall. According to locals, the Walter Reid building just keeps reinventing itself. |
