Kenworthys, Latrobe (Tasmania)
82-84 Gilbert Street:
Jabez White had this built in 1891 as the “Book Arcade’’ and also operated a watchmaker business from the premises. Two years later, it was bought by JP Kenworthy and with the clever change of just one letter in the name on the front of the store, it became the “Boot Arcade’’. Mr Kenworthy operated a notable emporium from this site. The second storey clearly shows this is two buildings constructed at different times but it has operated as one store on the ground floor from its early beginnings.
