Grade II* Listed 18th century or earlier former warehouse. It is likely to have been associated with the first period of improvements to the harbour in 1740. Purchased by Norman Good in the 1930s as far as I can see it is still owned by Norman Good & Sons and leased to Dorset Council. Change of use was granted in 2013 for use as retail premises (A1). The building is on the buildings at risk register and discussions on repair of the site stalled but in May 2020 a listed building consent application for retrospective works to provide access to the upper floors was under consideration by Dorset Council.
