The Grace Building site prior to the 1870s was developed and occupied by a variety of small businesses and people including a small corner hotel. By the second half of the 1870s a building known as the Music hall occupied part of the site. Also, the first Sydney Opera House emerged, later known as the Imperial Opera House. At the turn of the century, it was taken over by McArthur & Co.

Once Grace Bros had acquired the York Street site in 1926 it engaged the architectural firm of D T Morrow & Gordon to design a new flagship building for its burgeoning retail empire…and so continues the fascinating story of what is now known as The Grace Hotel.
