Statement of Significance

The Bates Building is of local historical and architectural significance. It is one of the oldest and most intact 19th century recreational buildings in northern Melbourne, predating buildings such as the former Lyric (1912) and Western (c.1929) Theatres, both further south in Brunswick. It is a good example of a prominent 19th century building which has retained its original face brickwork and unpainted render dressings.
