CBD Industrial Pacific House RICO

From a series of non-polluting (So safe to plop next to Residential and Commercial like real life) Industrial RICO buildings for your City Centre/Downtown Fabric District or light industrial fringe, based on buildings in Melbourne CBD, Australia

"A four storey cement rendered Edwardian brick former warehouse and office building with a mezzanine. Built around 1903 for Sniders & Abrahams Pty Ltd cigar and cigarette manufacturers. The rear lane, Sniders Lane, is named after a principal of the company. The company's factory was located to the rear in Drewery Place. Their business was known for the quality of the brands of hand rolled cigars Escude and Aristocratica. As a sales incentive the company popularised the insertion of cards inside the cigarette packs that featured cricketers, jockeys, football players and football club colours. These cards became quite a phenomenon and could be called the first 'craze' of the twentieth century. Some of the more upright members of the community thought of them as a social evil. They were attributed to an upsurge of gambling in the youth of the day and an increase in juvenile cigarette smoking. The children had invented a game akin to two-up by using the cards. Newspapers had reported on customers leaving tobacconists being pestered by children asking for the cards. Shops were burgled, cigarette cartons were rifled and the cards were stolen. A Mrs Robson from Carlton at the 1909 Australasian Women's Association annual conference said it seemed to be the national instinct of the colonial youth to bet on anything. She frequently saw large crowds of boys of all ages in the gardens gambling with these cards. The State Government was concerned with the upsurge in smoking by youths and in July of 1909 the Premier of the day, Mr Jack Murray, instigated a report on the matter. By the early 1920's Sniders & Abrahams had left and the building was utilised by a succession of merchants up until the early 1960's when it was refurbished, converted to offices, named Insurance House and tenanted by Swann Insuarance Brokers. In 1984 it was occupied by Pacific Typewriters Pty Ltd and renamed Pacific House. "
