STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
The former Cheetham Salt Pty Ltd office building is near externally complete and is a fine example of an Edwardian, medium-scale custom-designed commercial use. It represents the work, historically, of Geelong's most prolific and effective architectural firm, Laird & Buchan, and contributes to a valuable Edwardian and 19th Century commercial and warehousing streetscape.
The building also represents probably the oldest major office structure built for a Geelong firm which later gained national prominence in a new field of Colonial production. It can be identified closely with the commercially adept Cunningham family who also played a benevolent role in the community and among their workforce.
