| A Listed - State Significance STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE The significant parts of the Ford Motor Company complex at North Geelong are the 1920s sections only, including the Melbourne Road facade and landscaping. See the attached site plan for further verification. The Ford Motor Company complex on the Melbourne Road at North Geelong is aesthetically significant at a NATIONAL level. It demonstrates in an outstanding way original design qualities of the interwar stripped Classical style. These qualities on the original (1925) northern facade include the large brick and painted rendered concrete wall planes broken up by 5 vertically oriented, slightly-projecting pavilions, four horizontal bays including the off-centre entrance with a crowning recessed parapet and the 3 glazed colonnaded bays having brick vestigial pillars between the windows. Other intact qualities include the subtle stripped Classical detailing and in particular the roundel motifs above the vestigial pilasters on the vertical pavilions, rectilinear moulding and lines, and the rectangular parapet panels with decorative banded borders.

The complex has associations with the American architect, Albert Kahn, who designed many of the Ford industrial plants in the U.S.A. It is also associated with the development of the first fully Australian motor vehicle, the Falcon, in the 1960s. The Ford Motor Company complex on the Melbourne Road at North Geelong is scientifically significant at a STATE level. The complex steel truss roof systems, with panel points that enable the support of craneways and other machinery, illustrates a particular constructional and technological development in Victoria in the 1920s. The clerestorey lighting, with openable sashes operated by a pulley system, are also of technical interest. The Ford Motor Company complex on the Melbourne Road at North Geelong is socially significant at a STATE level.
