Statement of Significance
Denton's is of significance locally as an important enterprise created, operated and worked by Abbotsford residents. It is the dominant feature of the Nicholson St - Mollison St area.
It is significant at a state level because of its importance as the colony's largest hat factory, its high level of mechanisation, and its directorial and shareholding links with leaders in commerce, industry, local and state government.
It is of architectural significance as the work of William Pitt and an early example of the industrial use of polychrone brickwork.
It is of architectural significance at the State level as a sophisticated example of William Pitt's industrial architecture, comparing with his later work for the Victoria Brewery, Foy and Gibson and Bryant and May. The symmetrical and modulated polychromatic brick facade in the late Renaissance Revival style constitutes an appropriate expression of the company's importance.
