Statement of Significance
The following wording is from the Allom and Lovell Building Citation, 1998 for the property. Please note that this is a "Building Citation", not a "Statement of Significance". For further information refer to the Building Citation held by the City of Yarra.
History:
The former Builders Steel Form Supply Co. building, at 9-11 David Street, Richmond, was built in 1938. The Rate Books indicate that the Builders Steel Form Supply Co. owned two vacant sites, each valued at ₤14, in David Street, from 1938. By 1940, the company is listed at the owner and occupier of a factory values at ₤145. David Street is first listed in the directories in 1938.
Description:
The former Builders Steel Form Supply Co. is a small single storey industrial building with a distinctive entrance facade constructed of off-form concrete. The facade has a simple stepped parapet with an integral decorative concrete relief panel in the centre, depicting a scene at a building site including four men at work preparing formwork and pouring concrete. To the right of the panel is the name of the company, BUILDERS STEEL FORM SUPPLY CO LTD, and to the left, the words ARC WELDERS and CONCRETE FORMWORK, incised into the concrete. The building has three large vehicle openings, now fitted with roller doors, three recessed doorways, and a number of multi-paned steel-framed hopper windows. Behind the facade is a relatively conventional factory building with a saw-tooth roof.
Significance:
The former Builders Form Supply Co. building is of local architectural significance. The building's concrete facade is distinguished by its unusual and distinctive abstracted Deco Style low-relief sculptural panel depicting the process of concrete pouring, which is unique in the municipality.
