Statement of Significance
B Listed - Regional Significance
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCEThe two storey brick, bluestone and Barrabool Sandstone premises at 105-111 Ryrie Street, Geelong were erected in 1870-71 for an Unknown investor. The Victorian Italianate Style Buildings with cellars are possibly the work of local Architect J.L.Shaw, being in a distinctive mode often used by this Architect. The use of Barrabool Sandstone for window entablatures parapets quoins in association with rock faced basalt is a notable feature. This group of shops although altered at ground level, is an important Ryrie St, Streetscape element.
