Metcalfe Bond Stores, Heritage warehouse in The Rocks, Sydney, Australia.

Metcalfe Bond Stores stretches across 68 to 84 George Street with red brick walls, three stories, and distinct parapet styles that vary along the facade. The structure combines functional timber framing with load-bearing walls and fills the street frontage completely.

Built between 1912 and 1916 for Upward & Co, it replaced an earlier warehouse that had occupied what was once Robert Campbell's garden and orchard land. The transformation marks the shift from private property to intensive commercial use in this district.

The name honours John Upward, the London-born merchant who ran Upward & Co. and signed a 50-year lease in August 1912 on condition a building worth at least £10,000 went up. From 1973 the Old Spaghetti Factory restaurant occupied part of the ground floor, with a tram car inside; the Rolling Stones were photographed in it in 1973.

Today it houses retail shops and office spaces that are openly accessible along a central street in The Rocks neighborhood. The location is easy to reach on foot and allows visitors to explore both the commercial interiors and the historic exterior together.

The Old Spaghetti Factory restaurant opened here in early 1973, and a tram car was installed inside as a dining feature. The Rolling Stones were photographed in that tram that same year. The restaurant later became known as a family venue before closing.
