Statement of Significance
Mills and Ware Administration Building Facade has aesthetic value for its contribution to the streetscape and the surrounding area. It is representative of the industrial uses in the South Fremantle area.
Physical Description
A white painted brick single storey facade of the former Mills and Ware Administration Building. Glass has been removed from windows but frames remain. Roof covering removed but metal truss structure remains. The front facade has a parapet and several decorative features within the brickwork. Large downpipes also remain. Behind the facade the area is utilised as a collective garden space for the adjoining residential development of the Mills and Ware Factory. The facade is located on the front boundary line.
History
Before Mills & Ware and Italian pastry cook was established on the site. The Ross Confectionary Company was on the site in the late 1880s.
Mills & Ware started in the 1950s.
The West Australian reported in May 1993 that the Mills & Wares site will be named the Biscuit Factory Village under a $12 million redevelopment plan, converting the factory site to a 40-home complex as well as warehouse style apartments and a commercial wing. It reports that the 24 000m2 site closed the previous year (1992). The development will include a 40 lot residential subdivision (on the factory’s car park), 5 studio apartments, 5 townhouses, a cafe/restaurant, a medical sports centre and retail shops. The original flour lofts (at 21 Jenkin Street) would be converted featuring some of the original architecture. A 6 metre jarrah water tower on the site was contentious.
The canteen sat over a narrow road from the main factory and also included an executive dining room.
