Statement of Significance

Manchester House was constructed in 1911-1912 to a design by architects, Bates Peebles and Smart, and marked the entry of the old Adelaide clothing manufacturers, G & R Wills and Company, into the Melbourne clothing industry centred on Flinders Lane. It is a substantial reminder of the role of the rag trade in Flinders Lane early this century.
