Statement of Significance

Two well-preserved corrugated iron buildings of simple form constructed in 1913, representative of the smaller-scale storage facilities constructed near the river wharves, and now the oldest extant examples in South Melbourne. The substantial two-storey brick offices at the front of one of these buildings is also notable for the elaborate bevelled, raised and moulded entrance doors which are unusual in industrial buildings in South Melbourne.
The site was associated with the storage of cider and wine and is one of the last remaining traces of the cordial and beverage industries which once flourished in South Melbourne.
