Dawes Point, Sydney, NSW, Australia
Pier One, Hickson Road. Constructed 1910-1912 as part of the area's post-plague redevelopment work, it was used as a shipping wharf (passenger terminal) for many years.
It served in this capacity until 1963, when it was transformed for use as a cargo wharf. It was modified again in 1977 for commercial use (primarily amusements & retail), and again in 1999 when it became a hotel.
