Swan brewery, Perth, Western Australia

Abstract

View of a complex of buildings on a spit of land by the Swan River, with Mill Point on the right and Perth in the distance. The brewery is situated alongside Mounts Bay Road on Point Lewis. The buildings which include a tall, high roofed structure with turrets, were built in 1838 as a mill for timber-cutting as well as flour-grinding. The Steam Mills were later taken over as a convict depot, then used as a tannery, then a restaurant. In 1879 it was acquired by the Swan Brewery Co. who sold it in 1979 for redevelopment.
