W D Moore & Co Warehouse
By Seeker
The W D Moore & Co Warehouse, located on Henry Street in Fremantle, Western Australia, is a historic complex that showcases the region's commercial heritage. Established in the 1840s by Samuel Moore, it evolved into a bustling general merchant business by William Dalgety Moore in 1862. The complex features a variety of structures, including a residence, warehouse, and offices, unified behind an ornate stucco facade in 1899. It played a significant role in importing and retailing diverse products, from food and beverages to hardware and mining equipment. After changing ownership several times, it was restored by the City of Fremantle in the mid-1980s and now serves as a venue for public events and exhibitions, making it a noteworthy stop for tourists and researchers interested in local history.
