| DESCRIPTION |
| Details (Known As) |
Former Tubemakers of Australia Administration Building No 1 |
| Registered Name |
Former Tubemakers Administration Building No. 1 |
| Significance |
The former Tubemakers of Australia Administration Building is historically significant for representing the expansion of secondary industry in South Australia in the late 1930s and during the Second World War. British Tube Mills (Australia), which was absorbed into Tubemakers of Australia Ltd in 1946, purchased a 40 acre site at Kilburn in the late 1930s and production of tubes for aircraft guns and warships' boilers began within days of the outbreak of the Second World War.
The Administration Building is also architecturally significant for being a well executed example of an industrial office building of the era. It features typical Art Deco design elements, including the chevron motifs of the brick detailing, recessed window openings, and concentration of ornament on the upper part of the building. The original front section, built in 1939 was extended in similar style in 1940-42. (Adapted from the Twentieth Century Heritage Survey, Stage Two, 2008)
