Statement of Significance
Based on the Italian Renaissance, the combination of stucco and face-brick with the style adopted indicates a more direct influence from the English Queen Anne. The library is a successful and restrained use of the architectural vocabulary chosen which, however, is not enhanced by the walkway to the north and the ascalar building to the south. It is architecturally and historically significant as the earliest municipal building still in use. This building is considered to be of major significance as a building that contributes to the area whose conservation is important to the maintenance of the conservation significance of the Hesse Street Commercial Precinct.
