Continue down Montague Street and at the traffic lights, continue the tour along Auburn Street.

The AMP Building (1928) was designed by Wright and Appleby Architects. The building is an example of neoclassical Italianate, commercial architecture. Three solid cedar doors and thin Flemish­bond brickwork give this building an interesting fac;:ade. The Goddess of Peace and Plenty adorns the top of the building and is by WP McIntosh. The Latin inscription means “a certain friend in uncertainty”.

Next door is The Goulburn Post building (now housing Ray White Goulburn) has been restored to the original 1935 look from an old photograph. The Goulburn Herald was one of Australia’s first country newspapers, later incorporated into the ‘Goulburn Evening Penny Post’. It was then renamed to the Gou I burn Evening Post during the war when the cost rose higher than a penny. The last afternoon print was in October 1977. Today the paper is still published, as the Goulburn Post.

Then on the opposite corner In 1875 on the corner of Clifford and Auburn Streets a building once stood owned by MrT.N. Jacob, a saddler. Mr Jacob installed a life-size wooden white horse on top of his saddlery to increase his sales. After closing down, the building was licensed to Tom Jacob, establishing the White Horse Hotel (1885). Unfortunately, in 1910 it was among a number of hotels de-licensed as a result of the “reduction” vote in the liquor referendum and was closed a year later. The premises was renovated to be occupied by various banks until the 1930s when it was demolished. The Colonial Mutual Life Building (1933), designed by architects Hennessy & Hennessy, was built in its place. Colonial Mutual Life operated here until the office closed in 1979. The site then enjoyed a stint as a local radio station’s studio.
