Bryant and May Factory, Melbourne

[1] Bryant and May are also notable for operating as a model factory, providing workers with conditions and amenities which even today seem generous.

These included a dining hall and sports facilities such as a tennis court and bowling green which were constructed in the 1920s.

The front 3/4 of the building running back from Church Street was the first built, in 1909, designed by prolific Melbourne architect William Pitt.

A large addition was made to the rear (west) of the building in 1921–22, designed by Klingender & Hamilton, in matching red brick but in a Stripped Classical style.

A new chimney stack, boiler house, offices and Brymay Hall, also designed by Klingender & Hamilton, were also added at this time.
