Statement of Significance
The Old Buninyong Library dates from circa 1859 when it was given as a gift to the citizens of the town by Robert Allen, a prominent local personality.
The single storey timber structure comprises a main room (formerly a reading room) and a residence, the two areas divided by an office. The facade comprises a centrally located entrance flanked by large windows.
The Library is one of the oldest buildings in Buninyong and survives from an early period of the town's development. The facade is most unusual with its detailing simulating rusticated stonework. The tripled pilasters, deep cornice and decorative frieze are particularly notable.Classified:09/04/1964; Revised:classified:12/02/1981
