Burns Philp Building
The heritage listed Burns Philp Building is located along Bridge Street. It has historical significance for its relationship, and continuous association, from 1901-1997, with the Burns Philp Company, a major Australian maritime company who traded with the Pacific Islands. It was designed by Arthur and George McCredie and built in 1900. The architectural styles are described as Federation, Romanesque/late Victorian, Gothic and Neo-Romanesque with Scottish Baronial gables.
Made to stand out against the run of the mill buildings of today.

ReplyDelete"Federation, Romanesque/late Victorian, Gothic and Neo-Romanesque with Scottish Baronial gables." Oh, Jim, how funny, but the result turned out to be a beautiful building with a long and interesting history.
