Condition

Wellington Buildings appears to be in a sound to good condition. The paint finish to the street elevations is in poor condition. In 2005, all ground floor fit-out has been removed. Original elements such as pressed metal ceilings and timber floors have either been retained in situ or stored for reinstatement. The remaining fabric at ground floor level has moderate integrity.
