| Description |
The London and Lancashire Building at 400 Collins Street, Melbourne In 1865 the Rate Book records a large stone building (of seven rooms) in course of erection for the Australasian Insurance Company. This company was to own the site during the whole of the nineteenth century under a variety of titles including the Australian Alliance Insurance Company and at one stage the building was known as Australian Chambers. At the time of building the Bank of Australasia owned the corner site to Queen Street. The building shows clearly on illustrations of the period as an imposing office structure. The original architect is unknown. In 1940 A S and R A Eggleston were architects for considerable extensions and renovations including adding three top floors in matching design (the demarcation line is still evident), a new and monumental grey stone facade to the ground floor, extensions to the rear of the site, provision of lifts and new stairs and extensive restructuring and partitioning. The extension of the building was very successful, for while changes were made at ground floor, the style of the original facade in the upper two floors was maintained and continued up the new facade.
