The building at 3-5 Rees Street is of brick masonry construction, and is the oldest remaining 2-storied building in Queenstown, occupying a prominent position in the early town centre. It was designed by architect  & engineer David Ross of Dunedin for Hallenstein & Co and completed by January 1871.
