This historic building is located along Oxford Street in the inner city suburb of Paddington. It was originally built as a retail and residential building. It now features a newsagent on the ground floor, a cosmetic medicine practice on the first floor and a residence on the second floor. With the demand for physical newspapers and magazines dropping off in recent years, many newsagencies across the country have closed. The newsagencies which survive rely on sales of lottery tickets, stationery and gifts to stay in business these days.

ReplyDeleteI guess it's same everywhere. not sure how they survive in my area.
ReplyDeleteIt’s fascinating how this Paddington building has adapted over time, reflecting both the decline of traditional newsagencies and the shift toward mixed-use spaces
