Well Built: Simmie & Co Master Builders
What do the Shrine of Remembrance forecourt, the Film and Sound Archive, the US Embassy and the Kensington RSL all have in common? They were all built by the pioneering building company, Simmie & Co.
Simmie & Co was a prominent building company in Melbourne (1924 to 1978). Their warehouse in Melbourne was based in Kensington, from which the highly successful company built many iconic structures.
