Gataker's Warehouse Complex

Gataker's Warehouse Complex is a storage ensemble in Maryborough consisting of four separate buildings from the late 19th century. The structures feature brick walls with cast iron columns and timber joinery, positioned directly beside Mary River.

The buildings were constructed between 1868 and 1879 as part of Maryborough's rise as a port city. They supported regional commerce, particularly handling goods from the Gympie goldfield and other Wide Bay districts.

The complex takes its name from the Gataker family, who acquired it in 1885 and established one of Maryborough's longest-running commercial businesses. The buildings show how local merchants built storage facilities right beside the river to handle the flow of goods in and out.

The buildings sit directly along Mary River, helping visitors understand their position in town. For the best experience, explore the exterior of the buildings and note their riverside location to appreciate the significance of this site to trade history.

Brown's Warehouse, one of the four buildings, was built in 1879 as the district's most advanced storage facility for wine and spirits. This specialized space reveals how individual buildings were designed for specific goods.
