Storage King Woolloomooloo is located right on the edge of Sydney's
CBD, just off the Eastern Distributor. This storage facility is in a prime historical
location being in a part of Australia which was first to be settled.
Palmer Street is where you'll find our storage facility.
This street was named after John Palmer who arrived with the First Fleet in
1788 as the colony's commissary-general. At this time this area was called either
Garden Cove or Garden Island Cove, but it's name eventually changed to reflect
the main homestead which was built by John Palmer called Woolloomooloo House.
The location where we currently reside has gone through a
number of changes over the years. In 1924 our premises was used as a workshop
and offices, and in 1929 the building was utilised as a factory for making
petrol engines for sheep shearing machinery to power the wool industry. After World
War 2, it was a factory for Max Factor and then used by the Reserve Bank of Australia
to store official records. In the early 1960's, the reserve bank extended the
building with a 2nd floor. During the 1990's, it was used primarily to store
basic stock items and in the mid-late 2000's became under the brand of Storage
King as a self storage facility.
