The Rocks, Metcalfe Bond Stores


The Metcalfe Bond Stores are located along George Street in the inner city Sydney suburb of The Rocks. This heritage-listed former bond store and warehouse was built from 1912 to 1916 but is now shops and offices. The trees along this street are lit up with lights throughout the year.

    1. These warehouses were close to port facilities to store imported goods before import taxes (duties) were paid. By the late 20th century, shipping methods changed so these buildings were repurposed.
