Hinchcliff House, Historic warehouse in Sydney, Australia
Hinchcliff House features heavy timber posts, stone walls, and distinctive roof trusses that form a structural ceiling pattern at 5-7 Young Street.
The southern section of the building was constructed in 1860, while the northern part was added in the 1880s for wool storage and trading operations.
The building served as Matthew Talbot Hostel for Homeless Men during the 1950s, providing dormitories, a soup kitchen, and essential services for those in need.
The structure stands at coordinates -33.8625 latitude and 151.2109 longitude, near Circular Quay, which was central to international shipping and wool export.
A restored gilded sheep statue remains positioned on the northern parapet, and the original 'Hinchcliff's Wool Store' inscription appears in raised stone lettering.
