| Last updated on - July 2, 1999 SOURCE: REPORT TO MINISTER THE FORMER ADVERTISER BUILDING, BUILT BETWEEN 1885 AND 1888 FOR THE PROPRIETORS OF THE WILLIAMSTOWN ADVERTISER, HAS STRONG HISTORICAL ASSOCIATIONS WITH ALFRED T CLARK, PROMINENT VICTORIAN POLITICIAN, BUSINESSMAN AND FOUNDER OF THE INFLUENTIAL COLONIAL NEWSPAPER. CLARK PLAYED AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE PROMOTION OF HARBOUR AND NAVIGATION IMPROVEMENTS IN VICTORIA. AS MEMBER FOR WILLIAMSTOWN, HE PURSUED A RADICAL PROTECTIONIST POLICY AND SOUGHT TO ENCOURAGE VIGOROUS AND INDEPENDENT EXPRESSION TO LOCAL ISSUES THROUGH HIS NEWSPAPER. THE ELABORATELY APPOINTED PRINTERY AND OFFICES IN THE CLASSICAL REVIVAL STYLE GIVE EXPRESSION TO CLARK'S SUCCESSFUL LAND SPECULATIONS AND COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES DURING THE 1880'S. THE BUILDING IS SUBSTANTIALLY INTACT AND DEMONSTRATES A SKILFUL DESIGN AND RICHLY DECORATED FACADE FEATURING A FRIEZE DEPICTING WILLIAM CAXTON, THE ORIGINATOR OF PRINT. IT WAS USED CONTINOUSLY AS A PRINTERY FOR THE WILLIAMSTOWN ADVERTISER UNTIL THE NEWSPAPER WAS PURCHASED BY THE AGE IN C.1970 THE BUILDING CONTRIBUTES TO AN IMPORTANT NINETEENTH CENTURY COMMERCIAL STREETSCAPE.
