Built in 1901 for the London jeweller David Stewart Dawson, it is located on a prominent corner in two of Wellington's major streets, a site particularly important to history of Wellington . The site of the building had been known since the 1840s as Clay or Windy Point. Located on Wellington's original beach front, the site was marked as the 88th most desirable acre in Wellington by New Zealand Company selectors.[2] In 1901, 'Dawson commissioned Wellington architect William Charles Chatfield to design a building to fit the triangular site in 1900. Chatfield designed a three-storey building with a front that mimicked the angle created by the junction between Lambton Quay and Willis Street'.[2] The Stewart Dawson's building is a fine example of Victorian commercial architecture. Italianate in style, it has a well proportioned facade with its pilasters heavily decorated with fine floral ornamentation.[1] The building is classified as a "Category II" by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust.[2] References1. ^1 Kernohan, D.
