Dalgety Wool Stores, Heritage building complex in Fremantle, Australia.
Dalgety Wool Stores is a four-story brick building with large warehouse windows and exposed wooden beams along Queen Victoria Street in Fremantle. The structure shows typical features of an early industrial building with thick walls and open interior spaces.
The building was constructed in 1923 and served for about 60 years as a major wool storage facility. After closing as a warehouse, it was later converted into modern residential spaces.
The name comes from the company that once ran the wool business here, and today it shows how industrial buildings transform into homes for people. You can still sense the building's working past in its solid construction and generous interior spaces.
The building sits on a main street in central Fremantle and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors can explore the exterior and the surrounding neighborhood, which give a good sense of how the area has transformed.
Inside the building, original wool elevators from the 1940s remain, designed specifically to move heavy wool bales between floors. These lifts are a rare surviving example of the machinery from its industrial past.
