James Hardie House

The former "James Hardie House", also known as "Asbestos House", is a commercial and office building along York Street. The thirteen storey building was designed in two parts by Robertson & Marks in the Inter-war Stripped Classical style with some Art Deco influences, originally built in 1929 and extended in 1935. The building had a long historic association as the headquarters of the well-known Australian firm James Hardie Pty. Ltd. for over six decades.
