History

The Argus of 30 March 1940, p. 22 ran a block advertisement describing Sherwood, 246 Albert Street as 'New Modern, Dignified City Home' just completed. Front flats £3/7/6 per week; rear flats £2/7/6. In 1947 Joan, the daughter of Mr and Mrs George Sherwood of Sherwood, 246 Albert Street was married in St. Patrick's Cathedral. Possibly the Sherwoods owned the building.
