Fitzroy Ice Works, 95-101 Westgarth Street

Dated as early as 1888, the "Dutch gabled" facade is what's left of the original building first occupied by the Produce & Refrigerating Co. It was at about this time that refrigeration technology was first being widely introduced in Victoria for ice-making and the cold storage of dairy products, meat and beer. The site continued to be occupied by various companies associated with the refrigerated food and ice industry for over a hundred years.
