Gataker's Warehouse Complex, Heritage warehouse complex in Maryborough, Australia.
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, built in 1879 along Wharf Street, was designed by James Buchanan and erected by F Kinne and Jack Ferguson. The Gataker family company only acquired this building in 1972, long after taking over the neighbouring site in 1885. In 1988 the three allotments were placed under a group title.
