Statement of Significance
The former Cue Battery and Office have historic significance for their association with the mining industry in the town. The place has added significance due to its close proximity to the town. The Office building has high landmark value and is a very visible structure on the southern entry into Cue.
Physical Description
All that remains of the Cue Battery are some concrete and timber foundations, large water tanks on timber stands and a timber framed corrugated iron clad shed. Immediately north of the Battery site is the former Battery Office which is now in a poor state of repair. This timber framed structure is completely clad with corrugated iron and has a hipped roof with a mono-pitch verandah roof. A rear lean-to roof is attached to the rear with a metal chimney to the west elevation.
History
The Cue Battery originally opened on 19 September, 1919. Initially it was a 5 head battery but was later increased to 10. It crushed ore until the mid 1950s and was burned down in the 1960s.
