Hotel Woolstore 1888, first opened as a wool store in January 19, 1888. It’s one of the earliest Victorian warehouses and the oldest wool store with a saw-tooth roof, plus the fourth oldest of Sydney’s 21 surviving wool stores. Unique for its Mannerist-style entrance and intact ironbark structure, it was designed to fit the wedge-shaped plot. Built to meet the wool boom in Pyrmont, close to Darling Harbour’s rail and shipping, it reflects the era’s expansion. Designed by Morell and Kemp for pioneer JH Geddes, who introduced mechanical shearing equipment, it’s a historic gem.
