Appraisal
Constructed wholly from corrugated-iron, this former creamery makes a significant contribution to the local architectural heritage. Highly visible from the road and positioned on an elevated platform, the building remains in relatively good repair, with timber casement windows and surrounds enhancing the character of this pleasing building. Simple wrought-iron gates and piers further enhance the visual appeal and make a significant contribution to the historic character of the building.
