Statement of Significance
The former Alfred Woollen Mill is significant at the State level as one of the earliest surviving woollen mills in Victoria and the second earliest factory of its type to be built in Melbourne. It is historically significant for the part it played in the development of the Australian woollen cloth industry, particlarly as recipient of a Government bonus for the first manufacture of worsted cloth. It has historical associations with the Gaunt brothers, who played an important role in the development of the woollen textile industry in Victoria.
