Warehouses at 230 Marine Terrace

Warehousing at 230 Marine Terrace was part of the Sealanes complex. There is a Heritage Council entry for these buildings:
History
In 1920, this was vacant land. By the early 1950s, Russells Transport had a store on the land owned by R Piercy & Co Pty Ltd. In the 1960s, L V O’Hara ran O.Hara Cereal Milling Company in the store.
In 1978, Sealanes made an application to build a warehouse (Fremantle Fish Supply). By this time, Sealanes was Fremantle’s largest fish provedore.
Physical Description
From the street a 1978, two storey retail/office/ warehouse complex is evident. The site potentially contains older and newer buildings which require further identification - includes old houses/shops (art deco and others), old and new warehouses and new retail/office/warehouse complex.
