🏭 Heritage-listed building
Built: c.1940 · NIAH rating: Regional
The area around Lombard Street East and Townsend Street was reclaimed in the second half of the seventeenth century following the construction of a sea wall in 1662-3 by Alderman Mr. Hawkins. Within ten years speculators were building on the land and a row of gable-fronted houses are shown on Bernard DeGommes map of 1673. Much of the area has since been redeveloped and this building was built for the brewery, Beamish & Crawford, between 1945-6. Its curious façade with portholes and brass inlay to the windows may be reference to its nautical name and location close to the docks. The granite cladding provides a pleasing contrast to the roughcast render of the upper floor.
