Description: Present day traders would be thrilled if they could experience the hordes of shoppers who used to throng Smith Street when it was a fashionable shopping centre - a place to be seen as well as to shop. This photo was taken near Foy and Gibson's who are advertising a toy fair, perhaps explaining the large number of children (dressed in sailor suits and straw hats) accompanying the elegantly dressed men and women. A sign hanging under the verandah announces rather sternly that 'Tramcars passing this building in either direction will only stop at this point'. Content of image: Smith Street ; Foy and Gibson Source of image: 'The Australasian' 3 Jan 1903. P. 28 Address: Smith Street streets - smith street
