Mount Gambier Fire Station |
| Registered Name |
Fire Station |
| Significance |
This fire station, constructed in 1955, is an unusual and intact example of a mid-1950s utilitarian purpose built service building. The building is representative of post-war functionalist architecture on a minor scale, and was the basis of the prototype for of a number of new regional fire stations. It demonstrates the provision and upgrading of public utilities after World War Two (Mt Gambier Heritage Survey, 1994). |
