A remarkably complete collection of single and double storey industrial buildings in a range of styles, the first of which were constructed by James Wright of Armadale in 1909 and used for offices, workshops and stores. The complex is chifely notable as the headquarters for Johns and Waygood between 1910 and 1982. This is one of Victoria's oldest extant engineering establishments, one of the more important structural and general engineering establishments ever to have operated in South Melbourne, and a major supplier of lifts and steel work for general building constructions in Melbourne in the 1990s. The complex is the oldest extant of any belonging to the larger engineering establishments which operated in Melbourne before 1945.
