Appraisal
Wellington Quay was constructed in the early nineteenth century as an eastward extension of the original Custom House Quay. This building shares proportion and material characteristics with neighbouring buildings, contributing to the coherence of the streetscape. Although it has been somewhat altered, it retains its traditional form and character, and it makes a subtle but positive contribution to the architectural character of Wellington Quay.
