Statement of Significance
The former factory, constructed by 1902, at 9-11 Cremorne Street, Cremorne is significant. It is a single storey building, constructed of brick (now over-painted) with a gable roof. The symmetrical facade is divided into three bays and has a rendered parapet with a pediment, a moulded cornice with dentilling with a stringcourse below. The central pilasters have vermiculated panels between the stringcourse and the cornices. There are two tall round-head double hung sash windows in the central bay, which were originally flanked by a shorter flat head window and doorway in each end bay - the doorway at the north end has been partially closed in. There are large square multi-paned metal-framed windows along the north side elevation.
Non-original alterations and additions are not significant.
How it is significant?
The former factory at 9-11 Cremorne Street is of local historic significance to the City of Yarra.
Why it is significant?
It is historically significant as tangible evidence of the beginnings of the industrial development of Cremorne during the early twentieth century. In the twentieth century Richmond became one of the centres of manufacturing in Melbourne and Cremorne was one of three areas designated for industry within the municipality. The significance of the place is enhanced by its rarity value as one of the small number of pre-World War I industrial buildings in Cremorne. (Criteria A & B)
