37 Russell Street Toowoomba

37 Russell St, previously known as H.G Wyeth's Hardware Store. Designed by James Marks and sons. Completed 1907
37 Russell Street, previously known as H.G. Wyeth’s Hardware Store, was designed by Henry Marks (of James Marks and Sons) and finished in 1907. I didn't get any photos, but an interesting feature to note is the cast-iron columns on the verandah that also act as downpipes (You can just see the downpipes that come from the gutter into the capitals in the photo above).

71 Russell Street

71 Russell Street, Maie's Book exchange building by architects James Marks and sons
71 Russell street, originally constructed on the site of  Neden Bros. Flour Mill, was built in 1907. It was designed by Henry Marks of James Marks and sons, a prominent Toowoomba practice of the period. This ornate building adds its own flare to the character of the historic street and has doubtless been capturing people's imagination since its completion more than a hundred years ago.

Information on the Building was found in the "A walk Though History - Toowoomba's Russell Street" Brochure. The brochure can be viewed in full here.
