Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.
If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Mates Department StorePrint Page 
The sundial commemorates the centenary of Mates Department Store (1850-1950).
In 1850 Thomas Hodges Mate decided to open a general store in Albury and as his emporium prospered he expanded as a wholesaler and had a bonded store. At first his store housed the post office and telegraph office but they moved to other premises in 1862.
