Statement of Significance

The Beacon Garage and Flats are of local historical and architecturalSignificance. The service station is one of few remaining from thisperiod in Melbourne, and the complex as a whole is significant as a rareexample of a service station combined with rental accommodation ratherthan as accommodation for a proprietor. Architecturally, the buildingreflects the eclectic design of Victor Heiberg, a well known Brunswickbuilder. This building, along with the house opposite (356 BrunswickRoad), appear to be the only remaining examples of the several buildingshe constructed in Brunswick.

The Beacon Garage and flats is a key building within the Grantham Street Precinct.
