Statement of Significance

The Port Fairy Powder Magazine was constructed c.1860 to designs of the Public Works Department of Victoria. This Powder Magazine is typical of the simple utilitarian structures that were erected at this time and is the only example of this form.
The walls are constructed of bluestone and the roof is clad in corrugated iron. The building has buttresses to two walls and there is a brick vaulted ceiling internally. This building has been acquired by the National Trust to ensure its preservation for future generations.
