HISTORIC BUILDINGS PRESERVATION COUNCIL MELBOURNE CBD STUDY AREA 5 (source 82) -D. GUILDFORD LANE PRECINCTThis precinct, off the eastern side of Queen Street between La Trobe and Little Lonsdale Streets, is formed by an unusual internal circuit laneway system which encloses a group of older warehouses and factories. It is similar to the pattern of Little La Trobe Street between Elizabeth and Swanston Streets, but is much narrower and more compact.The small brick factories and warehouses within this area are of a consistent utilitarian two or three-stories character from the turn of the Century, and provide a fascinating example of concentrated commercial development in that era. While few buildings are of architectural significance individually, they form a-remarkably intact historical grouping which accommodates an interesting range of small-scale manufacturing activity, much of which is directly visible to passers-by from street level.Proximity of this precinct to that proposed for Queen Street provides a good opportunity for linking the two areas directly, as complementary units. The Guildford Lane link passes between the Mental Health Authority Building (1859) and the Rex Advertising Warehouse (1909), both of which are recommended for registration.This could be greatly enhanced by sympathetic restoration of the Mental Health Authority Building, as part of the Queen Street precinct and as a "gateway" into the Guildford Lane precinct. The contrast in scale and character between these two areas provides a valuable reminder of the differences between the civic splendour and commercial realities of 19th Century inner Melbourne.The existing uses are essentially an extension of the original building uses and represent no threat to the external fabric of the buildings which is the main interest of the area. Continuation of this activity, which already includes a number of small manufacturers and craft-type industry, offers considerable scope for diversification into other compatible retail and service uses..LEWIS, M- AUSTRALIAN ARCHITECTURE INDEX:Record 76557 Langford, Clement Melbourne VIC Factories Langford, Clement - 275 Bridge Rd Richmond 1908 10 6 1063, MCC registration no 1063 [Burchett Index].
