STEPHENS & CO. CLOTHING FACTORY (FORMER) - Physical Description 1
The Stephens & Co. clothing factory comprises a group of brick one and two storey interwar buildings built in stages. The Grey Street frontage is formed by the original single storey sawtooth roof section which has a string course and a series of downspouts at each of the roof gutters. To the north is a symmetrical two story section of very plain appearance with steel windows and brick pilasters. The Hodgson St. facade is more elaborate with the main two story section of building having geometric art deco motifs arranged across rendered panels and brick pilasters.
Context: Now in a residential area that developed following the closure of the Gillbrook pottery. The slighty later Henderson's Shirt Co. is around the corner in Brunswick Road.
Condition and integrity: Good original condition.
Comparative Analysis: While fairly typical of its period, the brick facade is more severe than is usually found and the Deco motifs are unusual. Comparisons can be made with the Lincoln and Hilton Mills in Coburg.STEPHENS & CO. CLOTHING FACTORY (FORMER) - Physical Conditions
