The place is a modest example of a commercial building dating from the first decades of the twentieth century that forms part of a group of similar places and makes a contribution to the Fremantle Town Centre streetscape. The place is a fine, substantially intact, example of a Federation Warehouse style building that makes a significant contribution to the streetscape.
Two storey corner building, with a zero setback from the pavement, rendered over the corner section and face brick return There is an a unadorned parapet and a corner pediment above the truncation, sided by 'Halco since 1950' written. There are multi paned windows and driving entrances in the face brick section on the building. There have been some modifications to doors and windows replaced.
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?]
