Statement of Significance

The Stawell Butter Factory and Ice Company buildings are historically significant as one of the few surviving butter factory buildings in the Wimmera. Architecturally the charcoal lined timber buildings of 1894 gain significance by being one of the few remaining buildings of this type, once a common feature of butter factories, in Victoria. Unremarkable in appearance, setting or technological importance the buildings gain social significance through the long relationship with the Mitchell family, a prominent civic minded family of Stawell.
