Situated on the corner of Ginn and Mercer Streets, Geelong, this two storey iron structure clad with 5" pitch corrugated iron contained Brown's shop and residence above. The facade originally consisting of cast iron and timber components has been altered. The upper segmental facade survived intact. This iron building is principally of importance as a rare surviving example of a once common industrial building type of the mid nineteenth century. It is of great architectural significance.
