Statement of Significance
A well-preserved complex of buildings consisting of a five-storey brew tower decorated in polychromatic brickwork and two-storey cellars on either side, and constructed in 1888 for the progressive and prosperous Castlemaine Brewery as No 2 brew unit. Despite later adaptations the complex provides clearly interpretable evidence of the operations of a small scale local brewery and is representative of the many which operated both in the city and the suburbs of Melbourne in the latter half of the nineteenth century. The brew tower is the best preserved of the three such structures now extant in Melbourne, the complex is by far the best preserved of all surviving brewery buildings and, together with the five storey former tea warehouse adjoining, it is a dominating feature of the streetscape at the southern end of Queensbridge Street.
