Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The Former South Yarra Post Office is of architectural significance as one of the most important buildings in the evolution of a uniquely Australian style of architecture. While the building reflects the influence of the American Romanesque and Scottish Baronial forms, the use of Australian decorative motifs, such as gum nuts, gum leaves, flowers, birds and marsupials was a new symbolic language for Australian public buildings, and reflected a growing national awareness and the beginning of a distinctive Australian style of architecture in the years preceding Federation.
Currently the heritage building houses the offices of Bruce Henderson Architects. I am fortunate to have worked in this beautiful building, and at Bruce Henderson Architects, as a junior architect, some 30 years ago. |
