Statement of Significance
A unique pipe organ facade, designed by the architects of the hall Godfrey & Spowers, Hughes, Mewton & Lobb and constructed by George Fincham & Sons. This consists of flue pipes (with flat rather than the customary conical feet) of random lengths and diameters placed without visible support. A central motif, of shorter pipes and brighter alloy, stands forward and provides an abstract reference to the outline of Victoria. Horizontal copper reed pipes punctuate the design. The facade has a strongly sculptural quality and is unlike any other known grouping of organ facade pipes. It is a design of great originality representing an unorthodox and imaginative solution.
