Duncan's Buildings are an Edwardian terrace built for Miss E R Duncan, who also resided and conducted a stationery and fancy goods store in one of the shops. It was built in 1905 and contained 16 individual shops and first floor dwellings.

It was designed by Alfred (1865-1924) and Sidney (1872-1932) Luttrell. The Luttrell Brothers settled in the city in 1902 and became particularly known for their commercial architecture, racing grandstands and Catholic churches.
