STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE

47 Malop Street has architectural and historic significance at a local level. It is an unusual example of commercial architecture in the Geelong area. The facade is reasonably intact at first floor level, and retains its characteristic siting and form, and unusual Art Nouveau features including detailed pilasters. The original ground floor shop fronts have been substantially altered. Removal of the cladding would enhance the overall appearance of the building in the streetscape. The building is of historic significance because of its association with Balfour Brothers, notable Geelong Mechanics.
