.jpg "The Conditioning House from Cape Street. \"Built by the Corporation on continental precedents to check and control the moisture content of textiles by means of laboratory examination and certify their true weight
and length. It is the only one of its kind in this country. The service was established in 1887 and the Conditioning
House was purpose built 1900-02 by the city architect F E P Edwards to the designs of F Wild who died in 1901.
The building is erected on 4-storeys and basement around 3 sides of an open court. Restrained detailing with
elements of the Queen Anne style. Sandstone “brick” with ashlar dressings, ashlar ground floor and vermiculated
rustication to the basement, ie in the warehouse tradition giving emphasis to the lower storeys. Centrepiece to Cape
Street with pedimented blind attic and ball finials, flanking pilaster strips and pilastered portal with ornate east iron
gates.\"")
