1890

The Saddler’s Foundation

Before 1890, the first foundations were laid at 459 Townsend Street. Originally a saddler’s shop, the building was built on a commitment to durability and handcrafted excellence—principles that still anchor our philosophy today.

1930

Preservation and Tradition

As a local butcher shop, the building featured a massive underground stone cellar used to preserve meat before refrigeration. This subterranean landmark remains a testament to the building's role as a long-standing pillar of the Albury community.

2016

The Proprietor is Born

In 2016, we began our most ambitious chapter, transforming the space into The Proprietor. We focused on sustainability, fitting out the café with recycled materials and hand-built furniture to honor the site's historic character.

Today

Today, we blend 19th-century ambiance with a modern dedication to regional flavors. By supporting local farmers and prioritizing craftsmanship, we ensure that every guest experiences the rich history of Albury in every bite.
