The space
The site itself was the location of a former bakery that existed on the site from 1885 to 1926, after which the current building was constructed. It was built as a shop workshop and fabric dying factory complete with an upstairs dwelling for a Mr W Jenkinson in 1928.
The building has had a number of subsequent uses over the years, including for Corinthian Sports Club, Invercargill Working Mens Club and the Invercargill Leather & Craft Centre.
Following alterations in 1985, the building was known as Oreti house and was home to Alsweiler & Co, Chamber of Commerce and the National Heart Foundation. The Southland Regional Development Council also used the building.
By 2017, the scheduled heritage building fell into disrepair and was purchased by the current owners in 2019 and completely upgraded over the following two years.
