The original Seamens Institute building

The original Seamen’s Institute building is at Nott and Beach Streets. It replaced a small, timber bethel in 1888 and served until 1937, when the local Missions to Seamen moved to a notable Modernist building between Princes and Station Piers. The cornerstones you noted earlier have come from both of these buildings.
