Initially formed by a group of Post Office workers in 1865, the Civil Service Supply Association began life as a small co-operative, before growing to become a thriving London department store. Their first premises were on Victoria Street, but by 1877 they had moved to 425 Strand, a building designed by architects Lockwood & Mawson.  In 1927, the co-operative was incorporated as a private company, becoming a fully fledged department store and severing its links with the Civil Service. The building was completely rebuilt at this time in the Art Deco style.  As was common at the time, the store produced its own brand of blended Scotch whisky.  The store remained open until 1982 when it was closed following a severe fire.
