Employment agencies that found jobs for servants were called registry offices. Mrs Hill’s Registry Office sits in a row of shops that includes a draper, grocer, hairdresser, tailor and toy shop at the northern end of Lambton Quay, Wellington. These shops were destroyed in about 1928–30 to build the Cenotaph. Government House is in the background, where the Beehive is now.
