Statement of Significance

The Tip Top factory administration building is of local architectural Significance. The administration building is a large and sophisticated example of the Moderne style. The bold architectural composition of the facade is an excellent and substantially intact example of the style, as typified by the horizontal fenestration and dominant tower element. The stables at the rear of the site recall the use of horse-drawn wagons to deliver the bread prior to the use of motorised trucks.

The building facade should be retained to a depth of approximately ten metres, including the main entrance, stair and stairwell, but excluding other interiors and the rear section, which could be altered or adapted as required.
