| Last updated on - January 1, 2014 This site is subject to a Statement of Significance for the building, as well as a Statement of Significance for the Precinct in which it is located. Please find below the Statement for the building, followed by the Statement for the Precinct. Individual place statement of significance: What is significant? The former Drill Hall complex (29/22 Battalion), at 16-26 George Street, Fitzroy, was created in 1936 for the Commonwealth of Australia Defence Department and has historical associations with persons such as those who served in the Australian Infantry 29/22 Battalion. The place has a good integrity to its creation date. Fabric from the creation date at the Drill Hall complex is locally significant within the City of Yarra, compared to other similar places from a similar era. How is it significant? The Drill Hall complex at 16-26 George Street, Fitzroy is historically and architecturally significant to the locality of Fitzroy and the City of Yarra. Why is it significant? The Drill Hall complex (29/22 Battalion) is significant as a monumental and significant Moderne style clinker and red brick drill hall, in the manner of other significant pre WW2 hall designs in A'Beckett St and Victoria St, Melbourne, created under local Commonwealth Works Director, Chief Architect Horace J Mackennal, as a strategic preparation for the coming world conflict. `This robustly detailed Inter War clinker and red brick building is ... quite a well detailed building .... The building was formerly a hall, though it has recently been sympathetically converted to mufti residential use. The building incorporates single storey pavilions flanking the front entry with rusticated banding, corbelled soldier course parapet capping and mufti paned metal framed windows. The hall itself is a simple gable ended structure employing red and clinker brick in combination. There is a dwarf brick fence along the street frontage.'
