[1/1] Towts Cool Store & Packing

Statement of Significance

Towt's cool store & packing shed is of importance to the Cardinia Shire because it provides evidence of the development of orcharding or vineyards in the district and the variety of farm houses and gardens in the district.

The cool store is also valuable for its: comparative age, among other cool stores and packing sheds; potential to interpret the site historically (physical integrity, oral and documentary evidence); expression of the lives or lifestyles of locally important people (Towt family) and its landmark quality; and rarity as a type (early packing shed and cool store).
