Statement of Significance

The former Brunswick Cable Tram Engine House is of metropolitan historical Significance. It is a fragment of the cable tram system (which as a whole is of national Significance) and reflects the importance of this transport system to the development of Brunswick. Architecturally, the Brunswick Engine House was of simpler design than many other Engine Houses in Melbourne, and in this sense is of less Significance than, say, the Fitzroy Engine House (cnr Nicholson and Gertrude Streets).
