Description

The Brown and Company Warehouse is a three-storey plus lower level commercial masonry building built in 1903. This was the location of Oscar Brown’s fruit business, established here in 1903 in a one-storey building that later had two additional stories constructed on top in 1913.

With its simple decoration and understated facade, echoing the adjoining Pither and Leiser Warehouse to the east, the building has a timber frame internal structure and masonry construction on the exterior.
