About this control - Wharf steps outside Shed 5

Shed 5 was designed by the Wellington Harbour Board Chief Engineer, William Ferguson, who in 1883 drew up a plan of wharf development which was largely followed for the next 50 years. Built in 1887, it is one of the oldest remaining wharf stores in Lambton Harbour. Situated right on Queens Wharf and only a few paces from the city centre, the historic wooden building has been painstakingly restored and now houses a fine seafood restaurant.
