Williamstown Advertiser Offices (Former)

The former Williamstown Advertiser office at 205 Nelson Place, Williamstown is of local historic and aesthetic significance to the City of Hobsons Bay.

Historically, it demonstrates the important phase of development of Nelson Place during the nineteenth century when it was the principal commercial centre of Williamstown. It is also important for its associations with Alfred T Clark and as one of the early newspaper offices in the city. (AHC criteria A4, D2 and H1)

Aesthetically, it is notable for its skillful design and rich facade, which is remarkably original and contributes to the nineteenth century character of Nelson Place. (AHC criteria E1 and F1)

Note: Included on the Victorian Heritage Register as VHR H865.
