Statement of Interest

Listed as a group with 72-82 Howard Street, 96 Maxwell Street and 32 Fox Street, which were all built as the premises of McCorquodale Printers, and for its uninterrupted range in the streetscape.

The warehouse at 32 Fox Street was built as an extension to this property. The combined buildings have been converted to commercial/residential use, with an additional storey, and are now accessed from Howard Street.
