Clewett's Building
By Seeker
Clewett's Building is a heritage-listed former warehouse located at 250 Quay Street in Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia, constructed around 1887. Originally built for Felix Clewett, a notable figure in the Queensland Legislative Council, the building has served various commercial purposes over the years, including as a general merchants' hub for local businesses. It reflects Rockhampton's rich history of commerce, particularly during the gold rush era, when it became a competitive marketplace for independent merchants. The building has changed hands multiple times, housing various firms and services, and was added to the Queensland Heritage Register in 1992, making it a significant site for both tourists and researchers interested in Queensland's architectural and economic history.
