    Victorian Heritage Database place details - 30/9/2021 FORMER WERTHEIM PIANO FACTORY (GTV 9 STUDIOS) Location: 22-50 BENDIGO STREET RICHMOND, Yarra City Victorian Heritage Register (VHR) Number: H2165 Listing Authority: VHR Extent of Registration: 1. All of the land marked L1 on Diagram 2165 held by the Executive Director, being all of the land described in Certificate of Title Volume 9224 Folio 933. 2. All of the building marked B1 on Diagram 2165 held by the Executive Director. Statement of Significance: The former Wertheim Piano Factory was constructed in 1909 for the German-born manufacturer Hugo Wertheim. Wertheim came to Melbourne in 1875 as an agent for his family's sewing machine business, which he rapidly expanded, establishing agencies throughout Victoria, Queensland and South Australia, selling sewing machines, bicycles, pianos and other machines, mostly imported. Having identified the strong demand for pianos, then a symbol of middle class values and of a working family's success, he sent his son Herbert to America and Europe to study piano manufacturing, and commissioned the Melbourne architect Nahum Barnet to design a factory in Richmond that compared with the best in the world. It had manufacturing facilities on the ground floor and offices on the first floor and was built at a cost of _25,000 by R McDonald. This first piano factory in Victoria was considered to be an important demonstration of the importance of the Commonwealth 1 Government's 'New Protection' policies designed to encourage local manufacturing, and the foundation stone was laid by the Prime Minister Alfred Deakin, with the ceremony attended by the most prominent of Victoria's politicians and business people.

  • John Burgess
    John Burgess Colourful identity of radio and television John Burgess’s colourful career in television and radio began in an equally colourful way…as an accomplished and talented tennis player, a professional bowler and a journalist for the N.R.M.A. One night bowling at St Leonards Bowl in Sydney, he met John Laws. Lawsie commented on John’s voice and suggested he try out for radio. They became good friends and John met many people in the industry that would eventually become his life. Johnny O’Keefe, Brian Henderson, Col Joye, Digger Revell and Jay Justin to name a few. Lawsie also helped him in the art of presentation, reading commercials and researching music. John Burgess’ career ion radio kicked off when he was asked to audition for 2UW in Sydney as a relief announcer. He got the job, becoming the FIRST disc jockey to get a job in a major market with no experience whatsoever! Eventually John got his own shift doing afternoons – 12.00p.m. to 4.00p.m. He later moved to the 7.00p.m. to 10.00p.m. shift. 2UW was a top 40 music station playing all the latest hits and it was during this time he was given the nickname “Baby John” by Ward Austin, who was the King of top 40 radio between 4 and 7 p.m. At that time, although he was by no means the youngest at the radio station…the name stuck…and has for the last 40 years! During his time at 2UW (1965-1970) John Burgess compered many visiting Rock Stars of the time, who came to Australia, including The Rolling Stones, Roy Orbison, The Who, Manfred Mann, P.J.
