The State Government Offices, Geelong, a six-storey Brutalist concrete building designed by the Public Works Department in conjunction with Buchan, Laird & Buchan in c.1974/75 and completed in 1978.

With its ‘two-storey height courtroom, colonnaded porch and two flanking pavilions,’ the Court House reflects the classical lines of the Town Hall and Post Office. 

The 1852 saleyard transformed in 1905 from a single-storey shop with some brick offices, sheds and covered yards to a brick office, stables and saleyards (Burns & Sparrow, auctioneers); a second brick office (J. Brownhill, printer and publisher); and a series of upper-level offices. 

An example of Federation Freestyle, the upper storey is still substantially intact, with 'three brick piers that define' the two-bayed composition. 

Designed by architects from the Commonwealth Department of Works and Victorian Director General of Works.

The company was formed in 1857, and Geelong's first gas street lighting was lit in 1862. The company was absorbed by the Gas and Fuel Corporation in 1900.

Greek Revival in detail, the bank's 'bold rounded-corner form' is also typical of many 19th Century Renaissance Revival examples. 

Historically, still active on a hotel site of 140 years duration and, with a small group including the Brittania and National hotels (1937), it represents a rationalization of the hotel industry under large corporate brewery ownership, both in Geelong and Victoria generally. 

This large Woollen Mill complex, established on a key river site, was a model venture using advanced technologies.

Constructed between 1928 and 1939, the Eastern Beach Bathing Complex is the last major enclosed sea bathing facility to be constructed on Port Phillip Bay and represents the culmination of the ethos of sea bathing. Eastern Beach has provided a focal point for Geelong's outdoor activities.

Building T1 and Building T2 are distinct buildings and classic examples of the work of architect Percy Everett and a reminder of Geelong's ties to its wool manufacturing past.

Now the Gordon Gallery, the Bostock Memorial has ‘stylized Ionic Order columns and pilasters’; its surface decorations counterpoint the later severe upper floor. It forms a link between the Peace Memorial, The Gordon’s Lascelles Laboratory (Laird and Buchan, 1921) and The Gordon Textile School on Gordon Avenue.
