Andrew Place commemorates Andrew Waddell, the founder of A. Waddell and Company which until a few years ago held the longest continuous newsagency license in Australia at over 100 years.
The plaque is in a lane way near the front of the building and is of polished aluminium. Andrew Place occupies land beside the newsagency which was formerly a plant nursery and the hedge that can be seen at the front was retained as it is very much a part of Berry's townscape.
