This former Adelaide Brewery is historically significant as a survivor of an important industry once common in the city. The buildings were directly associated with Syme and Sison. They are architecturally significant as an important example of a relatively intact industrial complex, stoutly constructed of bluestone walling and brick dressings. They are environmentally significant to Wyatt Street.

The place now serves as car parking and a service station. The building is of a utilitarian industrial design. Walls are of bluestone rubble with brick quoins and detailing. The roof has two styles. Over the malting kiln there is a hipped roof of galvanised iron capped with a wooden lantern vent and topped with a wind-vane shaped as a beer bottle. The remaining area is roofed with a double barrel vault with minimal internal structural timber. There is a cellar, a ground floor and first floor under the main area of roof, the malting kiln area has another floor. In more recent times the place has been used as a motor service station and alterations have been made, for example, the installation of inspection pits. There have been structural changes, for example, replacement of a section of timber frame-galvanised iron wall with concrete masonry blocks, replacement of roofing, addition of timber and damage to other areas. The building represents a once thriving industry in Adelaide where a number of breweries and hotels existed at a scale quite distinct to that of the present age of monopolies in production and distribution. In an age of craftsman food production breweries were also essential to bread baking, as they filled the secondary role of yeast production in addition to beverage brewing.
