Heritage ThemesOCCUPATIONS: Commercial & service industriesStatement Of SignificanceHistoric and aesthetic significance as a former warehouse building that has been adapted to residential use. The building makes an important contribution to the Old Port City streetscape.ArchaeologyConditionCondition assessed as good (assessed from streetscape survey only).HistoryA long narrow building on this site on an 1898 map has been replaced by 1913 by a more substantial rectangular building, which appears closer to the footprint of the extant building. Rate books from 1900 show the owner as W.D. Moore, which from 1905-06 changes to George Frederick Moore, and the occupant remains W.D. Moore and Co. A warehouse is listed from at least 1900, along with sheds and cottages. From 1901 it is noted that former cottages are also used as warehouse space. The cottages cease to be listed between 1906 and 1910, suggesting this is when the site was cleared and a new, larger warehouse constructed. W.D. Moore & CO continued to own and occupy the place until the late 1930s. In 1939 the occupant is noted as Dalgety & Co. By the mid-1940s the occupant is Donald John McKenzie. However, Moores continues to own the place. In 1974 the place was purchased by R.C. Sadlier Pty Ltd. It was auctioned by Sadliers in 1986. Currently (2002), residential use.
