Statement of Significance

The Graham Campbell Ferrum foundry is of historical significance to the city as one of the oldest operating and major foundries in the region. It was the largest private jobbing foundry in the western region in the early 20th century.

The foundry complex demonstrates the relationship of office, foundry and sheds and demonstrates the industry and the type of work undertaken on the site. The complex is a dominant feature of the Geelong Road streetscape and is part of a group of important moderne and other styled mid 20th century industrial complexes along Geelong Road. The contributory buildings are the office block and the main foundry shed.
