The former Dyason & Co. Cordial Factory at 63 Cambridge Street and 44 Oxford Street, Collingwood, was constructed in stages from 1889, and incorporates a long rectilinear two-storey red brick hipped roof former factory building, with frontages to two streets. The building is positioned along the north side of the property, with an asphalted car parking area to the southern side. The windows to the south elevation range in period and style, indicating modifications to the wall and openings; the south elevation near the east end of the property is particularly modified. The parapeted Oxford Street facade is largely intact, and includes original details such as corbelled half-columns and canted piers, a central signage panel capped by a triangular pediment in the prominent parapet, mouldings, and arched windows. The Cambridge Street facade is less intact, but appears to have been similarly detailed to the Oxford Street facade.
How is it significant?
The former Dyason & Co. Cordial Factory at 63 Cambridge Street and 44 Oxford Street, Collingwood, is of local historical and aesthetic/architectural significance.
Why is it significant?
The former cordial factory, established in 1888-9 by John Dyason, son of cordial manufacturer and produce merchant Joshua Dyason, is of local historical significance. The original 1888-9 brick factory fronting Oxford Street was incorporated into the later building fronting Cambridge Street in the early twentieth century, to form one large factory complex; Dyason, Son & Co continued to operate from the site until the 1920s. The property is also significant as a component of the industry and manufacturing which characterised Collingwood in the second half of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; and as a former cordial factory dating from the period when cordial and soft drink production and consumption peaked, in part due to the rise of the temperance movement. The former cordial factory is additionally of local aesthetic/architectural significance. The two building components are examples of late nineteenth and early twentieth century former factory/warehouse buildings in the City of Yarra, with formal frontages to both Cambridge and Oxford streets. The facade to Oxford Street is particularly handsome, the more intact of the two frontages, and more engaging in the streetscape context. Elements of note include the corbelled half-columns in exposed face brick, which rise to frame the central signage panel in the prominent parapet, which is capped in turn by a triangular pediment; and the piers which terminate with mouldings. The piers and half-columns also frame and draw attention to the arched windows and recessed doorway. |
