The existing warehouse contributes to the streetscape of Mouat Street. It is of unusual design and its aesthetic appeal adds to the character of the street. The place is of historic significance as an example of a former commercial building in the Old Port City of Fremantle dating from the gold boom period in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. The place is significant because, when viewed from the street, it is an example of a commercial building which contributes to the very significant Old Port City of Fremantle.
Warehouse, 26 Mouat Street, is a brick and iron c1900 warehouse. The façade is tuck pointed, the north side is rendered and the southern side is face brick. The roof is gabled with a ridge vent (has been re-clad). The façade features three arches with the central arch being the glassed entrance door, and the arches either side as windows. There is a circular window in the gable, and a rendered ribbon decoration above the central arch.
House on the site in 1880, occupied by Patrick Hagan, a hotelkeeper, who ran the Victoria, later the P & O. The property was purchased in 1900 by the Strelitz brothers, whose main company buildings were located at 30 Mouat St (built 1897). The houses were demolished and replaced with a warehouse. During 1998 the building was extensively restored and the facade reconstructed, including matching patination of the new brickwork to old, by Marcus Collins Architects (MCA). MCA have before and after photographs (information provided by Notre Dame University (NDU), the owners (2011). Currently, (2011) the former warehouse is part of Notre Dame University.
