Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The former Klembro factory at 80-82 Blamain Street, Cremorne is significant to the extent of its c1928 fabric. The two-storey brick early modern factory was built c1928 and designed by architects Gawler & Drummond in their characteristic brick oriented style: of five bays to Balmain Street and seven bays to Green Street, with shallow piers between, terminating in a vermiculated base. There are stepped triangular pediments to both elevations showing a simplified Greek Revival influence, with a soldier-course of darker clinker bricks at parapet, window-head and cill levels. It has fine metal windows of four large panes and eight small. The door is off-centre. There is deep blue diamond ceramic tile decoration.
Non-original alterations and additions to the former factory are not significant.
