Rocke Tompsitt
The building
Rocke Tompsitt was built as a warehouse and offices for Rocke, Tompsitt & Co., a firm of wholesale druggists and chemists. The architecture firm F. M. White and Son designed it, and it opened in 1909: six storeys including a basement, in rendered brick over a base of polished Harcourt granite and rock-faced bluestone. It was refurbished in 1986 and converted into apartments in 2000.
