Alterations were made to the building in the 1950s and 1960s. The business was extended to include warehouses around the corner in Nairn St on Lots 442 and 443.
In 1971 the building became a workshop and store room for ship repairs, later panel beating operations. A mural was painted in 1983 on wall of no. 54 by Sam Abercromby, later removed. Various other businesses occupied the building, including conversion in 1986 to design office and studio/showroom for Porter & Partners, as well as Central Oyster Supplies.
