Statement of Significance

The former butcher's shop and dwelling at 145-147 Union Street, Brunswick, are of local historical significance. They are the only surviving buildings of Heller's abattoir complex, which originally included slaughterhouses, boiling down rooms and stables. The buildings are some of the earliest known to remain in the Phillipstown Precinct, which centred on the brickworks and potteries, and was the first part of Brunswick to be settled and developed The buildings have a long association with the supply of meat to the Brunswick area. The architectural significance of the house and shop have been reduced substantially by alterations.
