Statement of Significance
The buildings form a very large complex and demonstrate a substantial and extensive use of bluestone. The walls of the buildings are constructed of coursed, but random bluestone blocks and the large expanses of hipped roofs are of corrugated iron. Arched & rectanular openings are trimmed with simple dressed bluestone and two openings formed large entries for railway trucks.
This complex of bluestone buildings was erected c. 1887 for Donald Melville, a wool and grain merchant. In 1911 they became known as the Moreland Grain & Free Store. The Stae Electricity commission acquired them for a briquette depot in 1932. During the Second World War they were occupied by the American Army and the Commonwealth Customs Department.
