Again, not a regional building. However this building has caught my eye on each of my recent trips to Melbourne. I snapped it on a recent visit. I remember the first time I saw it sitting opposite the Myer store in Bourke Street. I just stood there stunned, ignoring the pedestrian traffic flowing around me. Melbourne's cbd has so many of these wonderful Art Deco gems. I love the unpainted reinforced concrete and classical order of the columns. I adore the steel-framed windows and the facade detail, including the Tuscan columns in top two floors and the fasces in relief. This is possibly my favourite Melbourne building. I need to look into its history.
