built in 1874, this museum building has been described as "one
of the most elaborate and sophisticated woolstores to be constructed
in the 19th century". Originally designed as a wool and grain
store, the Federal Government took it over in 1942 to function as
a military foodstore. It subsequently served as a parachute manufacturing
factory before the Ararat and District Historical society took it
over in 1970.
