Construction of the Hotel Windsor commenced in 1883 for George Nipper of the shipping firm Nipper and See. Designed by Charles Webb and built by Thomas Cockram and Company, it was originally known as the Grand Hotel. The building was extended and became known as the Grand Coffee Palace in time to accommodate visitors to the Centenary Exhibition of 1888. It was re-named the Windsor Hotel in 1920 How is it significant? The Windsor Hotel is of architectural and historical significance to the State of Victoria. Why is it significant? The Hotel Windsor is of architectural significance as the only surviving illustrative example of the opulent style adopted for a nineteenth century luxury hotel in Melbourne in the 1880s. When constructed it was one of the largest and grandest hotels in Victoria. The Hotel Windsor is of architectural significance as one of the finest, although unusual, examples of Charles Webbs work. Over more than thirty years in practice, Webb produced a substantial number of important buildings, focusing on ecclesiastical, institutional and domestic work. The Windsor Hotel is the largest of his relatively few commercial commissions. The Hotel Windsor is of historical significance for its association with the temperance movement in Victoria, in particular with the well-known leaders, James Munro and James Balfour. The conversion of the building to a coffee palace in the late 1880s reflects the strong values held by the movement, and the opulence of the building illustrates the mores of society at the time, with the combination of lavish speculation and a display of temperance.

20.01.2022 Heritage Status / Level of Significance: Included in Heritage Overlay Victorian Heritage Register (VHR) Number: - Listing Authority: Melton City Heritage Overlay Number: HO127... Victorian Heritage Database Report Heritage Victoria. Report generated 11th June 2015 Statement of Significance: The house at 161 Bulmans Road, Melton, has significance as a moderately intact example of a Late Victorian style dwelling, and a now-rare and moderately intact remaining example of a small farmhouse created as the result of the subdivision of the Melton Park pastoral estate. Built in the late 1890s, the house appears to be in good condition when viewed from the road. The house at 161 Bulmans Road is architecturally significant at a LOCAL level (AHC D.2). Although the front verandah has been altered, the house still demonstrates original design qualities of a Late Victorian style. These qualities include the hipped roof form, together with the location and possibly the form of the front verandah. Other intact or appropriate qualities include the single storey height, horizontal timber weatherboard wall cladding, unpainted corrugated sheet metal roof cladding, narrow eaves with paired timber brackets at the front, face brick chimney with a decorative corbelled top, a window hood on the north wall, and the symmetrically composed front facade with a central timber framed doorway and sidelights and highlights, and flanking timber framed double hung windows. The rear skillion addition has an undecorated brick chimney. The mature peppercorn tree (Schinus molle) at the rear of the house appears to be contemporary with the house, and is historically appropriate to it. The house at 161 Bulmans Road is historically significant at a LOCAL level (AHC A4, B2) as a now rare and moderately intact remaining example of a small farmhouse created in the subdivision of the Melton Park (originally Green Hills) pastoral estate, which occurred as a result of popular pressure for the break-up of the large pastoral estates around the turn of the twentieth century, and which was a watershed in the history of Melton Shire. It is a very rare surviving example within Melton Shire of a small farmhouse created in the 1890s, the earliest phase of the break-up of the pastoral estates. It is also representative of a farm directly associated with the success of hay and chaff production in Melton from the late nineteenth century, and particularly in the early twentieth century at which time Melton chaff was nationally renowned. It is also associated with the Tolhurst family, at least three generations of whom have farmed in the Shire of Melton. The land on which the house is situated was at one time owned by George Bulman, after whom Bulmans Road is presumably named. Overall, the house at 161 Bulmans Road is of LOCAL significance.

18.01.2022 Victorian Heritage Register VHR H1545 Statement of Significance What is significant? The former Police Station complex at 155 Royal Parade, Parkville was constructed in the latter half of 1878 to designs by the Public Works Department of Victoria. The original drawings were prepared by architect Charles Barrett, and assistant draftsman Robert Roberts. The builder is unknown. The police station is a single storey, symmetrical, triple-fronted brick building. The exposed brick e...levations are decorated with string courses and an impost course in contrasting brick. It has two gabled projecting wings with paired, rounded headed windows and an enclosed central timber verandah protecting the entrance at the southern end. The slate roof, with wide eaves, continues down over the verandah. How is it significant? Parkville Police Station is of historical and architectural significance to the State of Victoria. Why is it significant? Parkville Police Station is historically significant as a rare example of a police station building of the type erected in the 1860s and 1870s. The simple, single storey Italianate styling was more typical in country towns, and this type of police building is very unusual in Melbourne. Most other city police stations from the nineteenth century were later and more substantial buildings constructed to serve established communities. Parkville Police Station is architecturally significant for the simple symmetrical form, verandah and Italianate detailing characteristic of 1850-1870 public buildings designed by the Public Works Department. Symmetrical double gabled forms with a verandah between was a favourite composition of the Public Works Department and the Parkville police station remains as one of the finest of these simple structures. Despite being built shortly after the dismissal of chief architect William Wardell, the buildings utilitarian design and simple form is typical of his tenure and contrasts markedly with later examples. - See more at: http://vhd.heritagecouncil.vic.gov.au/places/901

The Plumbers and Gasfitters Union Building is of architectural significance as one of the earliest, finest and most influential examples of the Brutalist style in Victoria. It is notable for its use of bold forms constructed in off-form concrete and its tough exterior provides the client with an identity signifying union power. It is recognised as a major work of the Melbourne architect Graeme Gunn, who has remained highly influential in the architectural profession. He was recognised with the RAIA Victorian Chapter Presidents Award for Lifetime Contribution to Victorian Architecture in 2001 and the Australian Institute of Architects highest award, the Gold Medal for Architecture in 2011. The Plumbers and Gasfitters Union Building is of historical significanceas a substantial physical reminder of the strength and influence of the union movement in the 1970s.

04.01.2022 Heritage Victoria Register VHR H0445 National Trust Statement of Significance... Last updated on - February 3, 2000 What is significant? The Queensland Building was constructed in 1912-13 as the State Headquarters of the Queensland Insurance Company. Butler and Bradshaw were the architects. Walter Butler was an English architect who had been trained within the Arts and Crafts movement. The Queensland Building is a symmetrical six storey office building on a steeply sloping frontage and is constructed of brick with a sandstone veneer facade. The architectural style combines elements of classicism with the traditions of the Arts and Crafts movement. The form of the building is an exaggerated Renaissance palazzo, of a rusticated base, extended piano nobile and attic storey with a deep cornice. The two flanking oriel bays rising through three storeys of the building terminate with Ionic column loggias. The rusticated base has a giant order entrance arch and recessed entrance, creating an outdoor lobby. The stone jambs to the arch and the window openings on the ground floor are carved with flora and fauna, including depictions of roses, figs and pomegranates. How is it significant? The Queensland Building is of architectural significance to the State of Victoria. Why is it significant? The Queensland Building is architecturally significant as an expression of the changing Edwardian approach to the classical rules of architecture. The building is comparable, within the city, to the Commercial Travellers Association Building in Flinders Street (designed by the Tompkins brothers) as an example of the Edwardian Baroque and as a revised form of the palazzo model. However, the Queensland Building also confirms architect Walter Butlers commitment to the Arts and Crafts ideal, particularly in the highly detailed stone carvings of flaura and fauna around the ground floor openings. The building is significant and unusual as an idiosyncratic design that merged the prevailing interest in classicism with the architects interest in Arts and Crafts ideals. - See more at: http://vhd.heritagecouncil.vic.gov.au/places/826

Heritage Overlay Number: HO732 Statement of Significance: What is significant? The Titles Office, 283 Queen Street, was erected in three stages. The first stage, begun in 1874 and finished in 1877, comprised an L-shaped two storey office building built around the strong room. The strong room was extended to its present size in 1884-85. Between 1887 and 1889 the perimeter office building was completed to give the current external appearance occupying the full length of a block to Queen Street. The designs for the perimeter structure were undertaken by the Public Works Department and are attributed to J J Clark. The main facade is symmetrical about a central three storey block, and sits on a bluestone plinth. The two storey wings are recessed and terminate in pavilions that project to the same line as the central block. The facade employs the Doric style in a quite severe and plain manner. The rhythm of the paired round arch windows on the ground floor is mimicked by paired columns on the first storey and by pairs of urns on the balustraded parapet. Construction is of rendered brick. The Old Law Office (formerly the Strong Room) has an interior incorporating arched, fire proof floor construction, known as the Dennett system. Fire precautions were essential to protect the irreplaceable Certificate of Titles and other land-related documents that the building houses.
