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 building carries a merchant's name and displays warehouse architecture from the early 20th century that shaped this district. Its brick facade and large windows reflect the commercial activity that once defined this waterfront precinct.
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 construction displays two distinct sections with different span widths between support columns, reflecting how the building was assembled in stages. These variations are visible on the facade and reveal practical decisions made during the 1910s construction phases.
