The Brush Factory is located at 36-42 Duke Street and is a factory building constructed in limestone with brick quoins around arched barred windows with rendered masonry. The ground floor is partially below street level.

HISTORY

W.A. Brushware Co. (1909) Ltd., East Fremantle, started in 1897 in Fremantle as H. Albrecht and Co. It was taken over in 1907 and a new factory was built on the corner of Duke and George Streets, East Fremantle. Additions were made in 1932. The factory employed many local Plympton workers.

An article in 1928 outlined that half their product was sold locally and the other half exported to the Eastern States. (reference)

“This East Fremantle factory is showing a fine display of their productions at the Manufacturers' Hall at the Royal Show. This firm has built up a solid reputation as manufacturers of all kinds of brushware, also wood, zinc, and glass washboards, and colored cotton mops in various sizes. They specialise in brushes for the dairy, flour mill and butter factories. A striking fact of note is that this factory competes successfully with the Eastern States trade. Every housewife should insist on buying the high quality productions of this local firm”. (reference)

A full and fascinating list of products made in their State factory can be found: (reference)

“Employees of W.A. Brushware Co., Fremantle recently held a dance in aid of the Orphans' Christmas Cheer fund and as a result handed in £20”. (reference)
