This warehouse building on the Princes Highway at Tempe was last used as the headquarters for Ateco, an automotive equipment wholesaler. After being renovated, it has been sitting vacant for the last few years but there are plans to redevelop the 10 hectare commercial site behind this building into a massive IKEA store that will also house the Swedish company's Australian headquarters. I was glad to hear that there are plans to retain this warehouse, office block and clock tower as part of the new development. Saturday, 11 July 2009

I like any kind of clock tower so I'm glad they are saving it!
ReplyDeleteThis use to be Seppelts didn't it? One of the winemakers, anyway - or does that date me too much?
ReplyDeleteI remember it being Penfold's Wines with a huge barrel on display out the front. As a child it was a landmark to keep an eye out for on the Princes Highway when we driving home. Could it have been Seppelt's Wines before that?
ReplyDeleteNow there is a building I remember from when I used to live in Sydney in the 50's.
ReplyDeleteI think you're right, it was Penfolds. I knew it was one of the big wine companies.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear the facade and clock tower are being preserved...good for a reminice at least!!
ReplyDeleteI believe it was McWilliams.
