Statement of Significance

Built of brick in 1877-78 to the order of the Ministry of Trade and Customs, the Wodonga Powder Magazine stored explosives for use in deep lead gold mining and public works. The Magazine was later acquired and operated by Mate's, a leading Albury store. The Magazine is of the same basic plan as that for Bright, with the entrance porch centrally placed to the horizontal run of the buildings. Though in a state of semi ruin, original elements remain, including the matching pairs of ventilator slits of the east and west walls and most of the vaulted inner roof. The outer slate roof, front door and flooring are missing.
