former Poowong Butter Factory

By September 1892 there was a wooden factory at this site for the Poowong Butter Factory Company Ltd. It survived until 1901 when it burned down and was replaced by a more substantial factory.

At some point between the wars a new moderne façade was added with rounded corners, simple brick decoration around the doorway and "Milk Depot" spelt out in crisp lettering.

The factory finally closed in 1986.
