1919 Peter and Tony purchased their own premises at 1 Booth Street, Annandale — formerly the property of Moodie Bros — and, with some expansions across the road, this remained the firm’s headquarters until the business was sold to BMI in 1961. Melocco Brothers was already benefiting from a nation-wide building boom which would continue through the 1920s, keeping between 100 and 200 men working for the company. Movie theatres and banks would be their dominant commissions in the coming decade. Melocco Bros worked on most of the large banks in Martin Place, including the Government Savings Bank, the Bank of New South Wales, the Rural Bank, MLC House and the Prudential Building.
