History

Commercial Building, 309 South Terrace was built in 1905 for Paul and Richard Strelitz (Strelitz Bros) as a warehouse, sheds and stalls. It remained in this use until the mid-1980s. The place was used as brush factory in the 1950s. By the early 1960s, the factory housed Gibney’s Drycleaners. There were some alterations over the years; the most major being the new shop front and office additions to the warehouse in 1963. In 1986, the City of Fremantle received an application to demolish the existing building (then ‘Culpeppers Building’) and replace it with a new warehouse for Sealanes.
