Jack and Newell Building, Commercial heritage building in Cairns City, Australia.

The Jack and Newell Building at 29 Wharf Street features classical architectural elements with a notable facade and traditional office layouts across multiple floors.

Built in 1911 for Fearnley & Co Ltd, the structure served as a central shipping and forwarding office until Jack & Newell acquired it in 1939.

The building represents the maritime development of Far North Queensland, reflecting the transition of Cairns from an agricultural center to a major port city.

Located directly opposite the main wharves of Cairns, the building now integrates its preserved facade into a modern apartment complex following redevelopment in 2004.

The structure stands as the final remaining early 20th-century warehouse in Cairns, maintaining its connection to the region's maritime commerce history.
