Our story
Mark Foys Apartments is an apartment building in Goulburn Street, Surry Hills.
Originally designed in 1917 by the office of Spain, Cosh & Dods, the former Mark Foys warehouse was constructed in the early 1920s after the Brisbane Street resumptions. The federation style warehouse was to support the nearby Mark Foys department store on Elizabeth and Liverpool Streets.
After various uses, the building had fallen into dilapidation by the 1990s.
During the building's life, it has had a variety of tenants including a branch of the former Bank of Australasia, which was located on the ground floor for thirty years. Paramount Shirts Pty Ltd occupied the greater part of the building for storage, production, sales and administration. Others since the 1950s included Oswald Sealy Pty Ltd, Bestknit Lingerie, Waltons Holdings and the Lex Collection Agency. The first floor was extensively remodelled during the early '70s for new offices. Ownership of the building changed from Mark Foy's in 1968 and then again from the new owners in 1972. At the termination of the lease in July 1978, the building was bought by the Electricity Commission which occupied one floor.
