Parts of it have been retained, in fact the Police Dept refurbished one great big workshop, kept most of the original building and gutted the inside.
This was turned into heaps of new office space and there are still pieces of original machinery scattered within the building on display painted in vibrant colours.
The architect one an award for design.
Off topic a bit, sorry.
My answer to
OP is no I wouldn't if possible. But nearly everything I buy from Bunnings comes from China, so I don't have much choice.
Unfortunately the manufacturing business in Oz has shot itself in the foot by paying it's workers a decent wage which is passed onto the consumer.
Whereas some poor guy in China with nothing is prepared to work for $1 a day, no unions there.
