SJ LAW’S OFFICE IS LOCATED in one of Victoria’s Amelia Street Houses which were constructed during the 1880s and 1890s by Samuel Thomas Styles, who arrived in Victoria from England c.1870. He and partner John Kinsman established one of the province’s earliest building and contracting firms. Samuel built a series of workers cottages on Amelia Street, the earliest in c.1871 (1519 Amelia Street) for himself and his family. Six of these 2-storey cottages remain today, mostly as businesses. Our office at 1521 Amelia Street was built c. 1898 and served as a home for many families until Bruce Maycock lovingly restored it as an office in 1989.
