Commissariat Buildings, Heritage site in West End, Fremantle, Australia.
The two-story limestone warehouse at 6 Marine Terrace features dominant gables, coursed rubble walls, and a corrugated iron roof structure.
Construction of the Commissariat Buildings began in 1852 under James Manning's design, marking one of the first structures built by convict labor in Western Australia.
The buildings transformed from colonial storage facilities into the Western Australian Maritime Museum shipwreck galleries, preserving maritime artifacts and history.
The WA Shipwreck Museum within the Commissariat Buildings displays collections of maritime artifacts from Dutch East India Company vessels from the 17th century.
The limestone structure served multiple functions throughout its history, including a customs house, post office, and government stores department until 1977.
