SECV SUBSTATION - Physical Description 1
The SEC substation at 64-64A Brunswick Road, Brunswick is a two storey symmetrical brick building with a painted stucco finish, built in a 'classical' style and sitting on a basalt block base. Cast iron down pipes and a decorative rain head on the east side of the building have been retained. On its western side, set back from the road, is a water tower raised on rectangular legs and faced with what appears to be sheets of painted metal. A bank of transformers sit toward the front of the water tower. The building and water tank appear to date from the 1920s or 1930s. The building appears to still be in use as it has a sign warning of high voltage on its enclosing fence.
