and also leased to corn merchants. Red brick with stone sills

boards; internal hollow cast-iron columns supporting timber
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
later by insertion of a floor; brick eaves cornices; in the
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
above a timber cat-head hoist canopy in the apex of the gable,
flanking each opening two windows to each floor and a single

brick heads and stone sills; the windows on all floors other
