Statement of Interest

The probable attribution to Menzies rests on his work for

McCorquodales Printers in 1925, covering the court within

their various premises, though the plans for the application

and plans for the fine brick facade are absent. The printers

works at 60-90 Howard Street and 90 Maxwell Street are

listed separately.

The warehouse was built as an extension to Nos 64-70 Howard Street. The combined buildings have been converted to commerical/residential use, with an additional storey and are now accessed from Howard Street.
