Fremantle’s historic Fothergill's Building on High Street constructed during the gold boom has sold for $4.2 million to a local family.
DB International (2005) Pty Ltd, owned by East Fremantle’s Giulia and Teodoro Del Borrello, bought the heritage-listed building from Avion Nominees.
ASIC documents show that Alistair Muir and James Fitzgerald jointly own Avion Nominees, which pocketed $4.2 million from the sale of 32 High Street in Fremantle's West End.
The two-storey federation free classical style property is historically referred to as Fothergill’s Building, which was named after the prominent Fothergill family at the turn of last century.
The property was owned by Captain Edward Henry Fothergill, a merchant and mariner, according to state heritage records.
It was designed by architect F W Burwell and constructed by builder J McCracken in 1906, amid the gold boom in Western Australia.
The building is also known as the Adelec Buildings. It houses several retail tenancies including the Finishing Touch Gallery.
According to the real estate listing, plans have previously been approved for a multi-apartment development, although those plans would need to be re-approved.
