It was designed by Walter Liberty Vernon and built in 1915 in the Federation style. It is now used as a visitor information centre. The Avenue is a contemporary office building across the road built in 2015.

    There are beautiful buildings in your area and also this one has some special charisma. It is with low and high interwoven in your picture with the low building at the bottom left.
