By 1870, large, purpose-built wool stores were built – many of them being striking monuments of the rapid increase in the production and export wool.
Today, the only buildings surviving in the Quay Quarter precinct from the 19th century are the Gallipoli Memorial Club building on Loftus Street and the former Hinchcliff Woolstore on Young Street.
Quay Quarter is now carefully restoring these significant heritage buildings which we hope will provide a rich, story-filled canvas for contemporary uses.
