Statement of Significance

An imposing but unusual design using coloured brick-work to define separate highly individual elements of the facade. The building is the only known work of the architect C Ohlfsen Bagge, and dates from 1867. At that date it represents an early use of coloured brick-work in Victoria.

The foundation stone was laid by Sir Redmond Barry in February, 1867.
