Decaying signage marks the former Sundell Holden showroom. Dust gathers on the empty floor, where new cars once gleamed. This abandoned structure captures a fragment of Australia's industrial past, frozen in 2015.

Fluorescent tubes still glow above the former showroom floor. Graffiti covers every vertical surface, layered thick in black, green, red and blue. Spray cans litter the ground. A red pipe runs across the stained tile floor, and glass shopfront windows along the back wall show reversed signage reading "Holden Grand Master." A metal handrail climbs a short staircase to the right. The ceiling is low, commercial. Dust and grime coat everything.

The series
Sundell Holden
Sundell Holden was the Chatswood East workshop and showroom of Sundell Motors Pty Ltd, on the corner of Smith and Gibbes Streets. Sundell Motors Chatswood Pty Ltd was registered with ASIC on 5 January 1967, and the company ran a Sydney North Shore Holden dealer network with sites at Chatswood, Top Ryde, West Ryde, Drummoyne, and Pittwater. The original Pacific Highway showroom, where a 1962 EJ Holden was sold new to Mr Alan Hamilton, was demolished in 1987 for the Zenith Centre. The Smith Street site continued as the network's main workshop. Four related Sundell entities consolidated into a single SUNDELL MOTORS PTY LTD on 3 September 2018, and operations wound down with the broader Holden franchise closure following Holden's national withdrawal in 2020. The Smith Street building stood empty for several years before being demolished for the Woolworths Chatswood East supermarket, which opened on the site in November 2022.
