Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The former Zanders No.3 warehouse is a bluestone warehouse built in three parts over the years 1854-87. It was originally composed of three storeys, as still reflected in the finely detailed King Street facade, but internally has been reduced in height to one storey. The central doorway has been altered and one adjacent window converted to an access door. The facade was designed by A.L. Smith in 1872 and was completed in 1873. It is clearly influenced by the Renaissance palazzi of Florence and Rome, consisting of a rusticated base, piano nobile and attic storey.

FORMER ZANDERS NO.3 WAREHOUSE - History
Contextual History:
The land now occupied by the former Zanders No.3 warehouse was owned by George A Mouritz, a coal merchant, until 1872 when he sold it to Mrs Zander. Zanders had the current facade built in 1873. The store formed part of a large complex of stores in the King Street area. The Zanders business was begun in 1852 by J C Zander in Latrobe Street. It moved to Highlander Lane in 1855, at the rear of 16,18,20 and 22 King Street. Mr Zander died in 1858 and his wife continued the business. The buiildings were enlarged and altered several times, including the changes in 1873 to give a unified facade to King Street. By 1888 this store had a depth of 200 feet and a ground area capacity of 21,000 tons.FORMER ZANDERS NO.3 WAREHOUSE - Permit Exemptions
