| Pacific Carpets is of regional historical and architectural significance for its important historical role in the development of the carpet textile industry in Melbourne and for its distinctive and unusual architectural form. Felt & Textiles pioneered the Carpet industry in Australia by manufacturing plain and stippled Wilton Body Carpet in 1937 at Footscray. After an interruption caused by World War II the company was instrumental in developing the manufacture of Spool Axminster carpets in Australia. (Criterion D2) To accommodate this major undertaking a new factory was built in Tottenham in a modern and functional design. The factory design expresses the changed nature of an industry which not many years before had been a craft unknown to Australia and in the course of a few years had been introduced as a major manufacturing enterprise, completely bypassing the phase of craft workshop manufacture which had preceded industrialisation of carpet making in England. The unique use of corrugated cladding in this up-to-date Modern composition gives the building a special position in the evolution of industrial architecture in the region and with the prominent tower, is a local landmark. (Criterion F1) Australian Heritage Commission (AHC) criteria The Australian Heritage Commission criteria consist of a set of eight criteria which cover social, aesthetic, scientific, and historic values. Each criterion has sub-criteria written specifically for cultural or natural values. The relevant criteria are: D.2 good example of type F.1 design or technological achievement |
