Statement of Significance

B Listed - Regional Significance

Historically, on a site rich in successive layers of Geelong's church-based benevolent movements, the building itself retains evidence of the latter development periods, each inter-contributory but the YMCA being the most obvious.

Architecturally, the upper facade is a near complete example of Renaissance revival commercial architecture and provides a context for the later but similar examples to the east, with their more mannered detailing on the same trabeated base.
