The Brinsley Joinery was established in 1929 by Ralph Brinsley, son of Sutherland pioneer Samuel Brinsley. Working originally from home and later from a purpose-built joinery, the original building was destroyed by a fire in 1929. The current building was built in it's place, where it stands today on the corner of Clio St and Toronto Pde, Sutherland.

Both the Brinsley family and the building, one of the few intact examples of inter-war industrial buildings in the Sutherland Shire, are a significant part of the heritage of the area and much of the work to come out of the joinery has greatly contributed to the growth of the Sutherland Shire. 

In October 1994 Sutherland Shire Council purchased the property with a view to preserving and continuing its function as a fully operational commercial heritage joinery
