This busy photo was taken in the 1890’s. David Copland & Co grew out of a firm called Messrs Roberts and Copland’s Hall of Commerce which occupied premises in 1872 built by Charles Hardy in 1872. The store was located in Fitzmaurice Street, opposite the Court House. It was beautifully built with handsome plate glass windows, cedar fittings and beautifully carved and polished counters. David Jones purchased Coplands store in 1953 and reopened the following year after extensive renovations. CSURA RW5.360)
