The Block Arcade, the original home of the Kingsford Podiatry Group, has recently undergone a substantial facelift including restoration of the extraordinary hand-laid tile floor (the largest in the Southern Hemisphere). Considering the thousands of feet that made their way to the practice over the years, it is hardly a surprise it was due for some attention 🙂
The works undertaken by the Cohen family (owners) and Bendigo Bank (tenants) include new lighting and the unearthing and restoration of the adjoining Block Court’s beautiful ornate ceilings and terrazzo floors. You may no longer be able to enjoy your Podiatric consultation in these hallowed halls, but the Block Arcade is still well worth a visit next time you’re in town.
