The former brothel was built between 1868 and 1871 at the height of Echuca's river trade, probably as a boarding house for wharf workers, railwaymen, and other industrial labourers. Oral histories indicate that the site was used as a brothel between 1887 and 1897. From 1911 the building was used by Freeman's Foundry as a storage facility and in 1924, John Freeman took ownership of the site. The City of Echuca purchased the site in 1979.FORMER BROTHEL, ECHUCA - Interpretation of Site
