The building demonstrates the typical late nineteenth and early twentieth century warehouse building which relied on horse and cart horizontal transport and mechanically assisted vertical transport within the building.
With modifications in 1950 and 1962 and more extensive internal modifications in 2006 the exterior still retains the character and most of the fabric of the original 1913 building. The modifications reflect the changing use of buildings in The Rocks with its conversion from warehousing to offices in 1950, its division into smaller lettable units in 1962 and its upgrading of facilities and services in 2006
