The Foundry Murwillumbah

The Foundry Murwillumbah is located in the Art Deco town of Murwillumbah in Northern New South Wales. This ‘News, Lifestyle and Gift Emporium’ boasts a carefully curated range of luxurious and versatile gifting options for the entire family – all within a lovingly restored 1908 building.

A history rich in retail

Spanning two devoted years, the building restoration uncovered remnants of its historical ties to the township. It was the first permanent structure to be rebuilt after fire devastated the main street of Murwillumbah in 1907.

Its enhanced original features provide an authentic, textural feel and atmosphere. These include the high ceilings, skylights, copper downpipes, polished concrete floors and original shelving from the 1930s. The building has been through several retail reincarnations – Chapmans Hattery (1900s), Jays the Hat House (1930s), Raward and Jays the Mercery (1960s), Rawards Mensland and now The Foundry Murwillumbah.
