Australian Reinforced Concrete Engineering Co. Pty Ltd - Physical Description 1
Original timber-framed, south-facing, sawtooth roof factory building, now surrounded by extensions and new buildings of various dates, mostly iron-framed and corrugated iron-clad. The sawtooth roof forms are of two types, the earlier having vertical lights about half the height of the roof pitch and the slightly later having full length lights sloping at c.15 degrees. Additions to the north and west are in clear-span structural steel providing large gable ends to Ballarat Road. The offices and front fence date from the 1960s.
Australian Reinforced Concrete Engineering Co. Pty Ltd - Physical Conditions
Much of the glazing in the roof lights has been replaced with opaque fibreglass sheeting while the original steel-framed hopper sash windows remain in most of the exterior walls. Later additions have been made to the factory and the company houses have been demolished, but the core of the 1920s factory is largely intact.
