The warehouse at 88 George Street (1886) and the interconnected warehouse at 86 (1912) are closely associated with the mercantile activities of The Rocks, and in particular Bushells Tea Company. 86 George Street was modified and 88 George Street was built and occupied by one of the most high-profile archetypally Australian food manufacturers, maker of some (certainly one) of the most popular and ubiquitous brand-name staple products in the nation.
