History

Manning's Folly, built 1858 for Charles Alexander Manning (1807-1869), was originally intended as a sanatorium for officers invalided from the Indian Army. It had a domed observatory on the roof, where Manning indulged in his hobby of astronomy. Later the building was occupied by Wallace Bickley, a prominent landowner and businessman, then Tolley & Co, wine merchants. It was condemned by the Council in 1928 and subsequently demolished.

The following year, Allen & Nicholas Architects built a warehouse on the site for John Lysaght (Australia) Ltd. The same architects carried out alterations in 1946. In 1960-63 the rate books show Patrick Stevedoring taking over the building from Lysaghts. Hobbs Winning Leighton & Partners drew up plans for Patrick Stevedoring WA Pty Ltd building in 1975.

In 2002 the building was Halco - The Australian Lure Company. [NB: 'Since 1950' on façade refers to the company?]
