Male Bathroom Block
Built-in 1902
This building was constructed in 1902 as a male bathroom. It comprised two dressing rooms, 9x6 and a bathroom, 6x4.5m. The walls were lined with opalite tiling 2m feet. The building was converted into a pathology laboratory in 1927 and is believed to be vacant. Signage at the complex states its name as 'Marri House' as of 2025.
