Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The site is within Ballarat West, first surveyed in 1852 as allotment 1 and part of allotment 2 Sec 13, Dana Street West. It is unknown what the land was first used for. The 1861 Gold Fields Plan shows a structure in the northeast corner and to the south of the site. The first known use of the site was as offices and stores for the Magill and Coghlan Phoenix Brewery who operated at the site from c.1864 until 1895. Two residences are attached to the east of the site, however these were developed by the 1880s. In 1895 the Ballarat Brewery overtook the offices and stores at this location occupying the site until the 1960s.
