A Richmond Icon

Dimmeys is going!!

The original Dimmeys, which existed before electric trams on Swan Street or a Myer Emporium opened in town, has launched its closing-down sale.

After buying the site last year for about $16 million, Richmond Icon has lodged plans with Yarra Council for a nine-storey building in a design that preserves the clock tower but will take a section of the 67-metre-long Green Street mural for underground parking

Although, to be honest, the real Dimmeys left a long time ago, probably when they expanded to upstairs and made enough space for their merchandise.
