Kay Craddock Antiquarian Bookseller occupies a space within the Neo-Gothic Assembly Hall building on Collins Street. The business began in nineteen sixty-five as a family venture called the Essendon Treasure Chest, originally selling a mix of secondhand books, bric-a-brac, and handicrafts from a suburban storefront. Kay Craddock and her mother, Muriel, shifted their focus toward rare books as the business grew, moving through several city locations before settling into these premises in nineteen ninety.
