History
Ellen Street was named for Ellen Mangles of Woodbridge, Surrey, England, wife of Sir James Stirling, the Governor.
The foundry building was built in 1937/8 as an extension to the main Joyce Bros factory on lot 396 Josephson Street. The foundry was an open shed, an iron roof with 2 gables, the ridges running parallel to Ellen Street, supported by timber trusses and purlins, plus by an iron I beam between the two gables. The I beam appears to have been added to allow the removal of some of the timber supporting posts from the centre of the structure. The walls of the shed were galvanised iron to approximately 2 metres, then open above. The gable ends were similarly galvanised iron with a gap between the wall and the iron of the gable end. On the right hand side of the building, facing from Ellen Street, was a set of wide double galvanised iron gates that opened inwards. The foundry shed was adjacent to the Joyce Bros factory building on Josephson Street and on this side there was no wall to the shed.
In 1957 Joyce Bros moved to O’Connor, and the foundry building was bought by Adams Electric, who had a shop at the end of High Street, and used the shed to store vehicles and equipment requisite to their cattle station business. The building was adapted when the block was redeveloped for multiple dwellings.
