floors. A large rectangular block with gable-end towards Barge
Arm and parallel with Biddle's Warehouse (qv) to west.
EXTERIOR: five storeys and loft, the original design of four
storeys and loft had a double-height ground floor divided

centre of each side a full-height loading door opening with
timber doors to each floor, and flanking each opening four
windows to each floor; in the centre of each gable-end wall a
loading door opening with timber doors to each floor, and
