Former location of Waldorf Chop House, Thomas Street. (c) googlemaps.
The Waldorf Chop House was at 54 Thomas Street in the dim and distant past. When John Clough took over the Woseley Hotel on Gore Street in 1929, he renamed it the Waldorf Hotel, apparently in honour of the old Thomas Street premises (according to the detailed history on display in the Waldorf).

Today 54 Thomas Street is a nondescript and scruffy-looking cash & carry shop, opposite the popular Teacup Café and 57 Thomas Street i.e. the Marble Brewery's northern quarter outpost. The only clue to a perhaps more elegant use of the building as a chop house are the stained glass windows and detailed V-design on the awnings.
