The Wharves were built in the 1930′s around the same time that the Story Bridge was built. It was used by Howard Smith Co. Ltd (the company) from mid 1930′s until early 1960′s, during this time storage sheds and other buildings were constructed there. It is a historical site, it shows Brisbane’s past and how we were very reliable on the river when Brisbane was a young settlement.
