Designed by J. Talbot Hobbs, the two storey building was originally part of what is now known as the Elders building (11 Cliff St) on Lots 1 and 2. Dalgety and Co, which had its headquarters in London, came westwards in 1890. The company dealt mainly with passage of primary produce, in particular wool.
Lionel Samson and Son purchased the building in 1971, and used it as bond and liquor store until 1983 when part was used as a rug store and offices. Sold to consortium, Fremantle SBS Syndicate in 1996.
Currently (2002), residential apartments.
