Frederick Ash Building, Heritage warehouse in Newcastle, Australia
The Frederick Ash Building at 359-361 Hunter Street features red-brown brickwork with Romanesque architectural details, including arched windows and decorative elements throughout its facade.
Frederick Ash established his hardware business in 1855 at age 23, later partnering with James Norsworthy in 1860 to expand retail operations in Newcastle.
The structure represents small-scale commercial architecture from the early 1900s, designed by German-trained architect Frederick B. Menkens who started his practice in Maitland.
The Newcastle City Council acquired the building and housed its Digital Print Services division, with plans for future redevelopment through sale or lease arrangements.
The building combined warehouse and retail functions, storing and selling building materials such as iron and cement, reflecting the hardware industry needs of growing Newcastle.
