The Argus, Melbourne, Friday 13^th February 1885, page 7.

An article appeared in the Argus indicating that Messrs. J. H. Cole and Co occupied offices in the Ferguson & Urie building at 281-283 (formerly 10) Collins street east.

The photo of the Ferguson & Urie building in 1885 shows that Cole & Co occupied the first floor of the building as the business name appears in the quatrefoil shaped tracery between the first floor windows and the company Dunn & Co Architects occupied the second floor according to advertising seen on the second floor windows.
