Statement of Significance

Statement of Significance as recorded under the Queenscliff Heritage Study 2009

The ballroom of the Vue Grand Hotel is of local historical and social significance as a venue for balls and other events associated with the hotel, and later, for its use as a cinema. While now adapted for residential use, the ballroom and manager's residence both demonstrate the scale of the Vue Grand's operation and its development as a building complex. The ballroom is also of architectural significance as a fine and externally intact example of a ballroom/hall building of the late nineteenth century. While of relatively utilitarian design, it is an imposing and striking building in this location. The ballroom is also of significance for its association with several prominent citizens including hotelier, George Admans, and Queenscliff Councillor, Lewis Klug.
