Gataker's Warehouse Complex is a heritage-listed warehouse at 106-108 Wharf Street & 310 Kent Street, Maryborough, Fraser Coast Region, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by James Buchanan and built in 1879 by F Kinne and Jack Ferguson. It is also known as Graham and Gataker, Netterfield and Palmer, Rutledge and Netterfield, and Gatakers Warehouse. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992. == History == The Gataker's Warehouse Complex consists of four buildings erected on three allotments bounded by Kent and Wharf streets in proximity to the river and other buildings associated with the Port of Maryborough.〔 Settlement at Maryborough commenced in September 1847 when George Furber established a woolstore on the south bank of the Mary River at the head of navigation. He was followed in June 1848 by ET Aldridge and Henry and RE Palmer, who established their own wharves on the opposite riverbank, at a location now known as the original Maryborough town site at Baddow. In 1850 a new town site was surveyed to the east, at a downstream position which provided better access for shipping. The first sale of land at this new site occurred in 1852, but most residents did not shift to the current centre of Maryborough until 1855 and 1856. Maryborough was gazetted a Port of Entry in 1859 and was proclaimed a municipality in 1861. 〔 During the 1860s and 1870s it flourished as the principal port for the nearby Gympie goldfield and as an outlet for timber and sugar. The establishment of manufacturing plants and primary industries sustained growth in the town into the twentieth century.〔 Gataker's Warehouse Complex comprises:〔 * the Kent Street Building (1867-1868) 〔 * the Middle Warehouse (c.1869) 〔 * the Wharf Street Warehouse (erected in stages from ) * Brown's Warehouse (1879) along Wharf Street Since 1885, the Gataker family have owned the site on which three of the buildings are sited. Brown's Warehouse was acquired by the family company in 1972. In 1988, the three allotments were group titled.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gataker's Warehouse Complex」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
