Description
The warehouse, known as the premises of Clarks Wood Company, was built around 1863, possibly by architect TR Lysaght for J Lysaght. It features pennant rubble with limestone dressings and a corrugated asbestos roof. The building is designed in the Romanesque Revival style and consists of three storeys arranged in a seven-bay range.
The gabled end showcases broad pilasters on the sides and center, framing a windowless ground floor that includes two brick-arched doorways. Above these doorways are recessed panels, each topped with a corbel table that supports three semicircular-arched windows with weathered cills and linked hoodmoulds. The windows above decrease in size as they ascend towards the roof.
The side elevation is divided by broad pilasters into seven groups of three windows that are similar to those on the front. The south elevation features six full-height openings from the 20th century, while the west end may have been shortened and refaced in profiled steel sheet. The interior has not been inspected. This warehouse was part of J Lysaght's St Vincent's galvanising works but originally served as the railhead building for William Butler's tar works in 1863.
