Lombard Building, Heritage-listed commercial building in Melbourne CBD, Australia
The Lombard Building features load-bearing brick walls, internal structural iron elements, stucco façade, arched openings, pediments, pilasters, and a large Diocletian window.
Built between 1889 and 1890 by architectural practice Reed, Henderson & Smart for Balfour, Elliott & Co during Melbourne's land boom period of economic growth.
The structure represents late Victorian commercial architecture with Queen Anne style influences, displaying decorative features that marked the economic success of that period.
The seven-story office building contains two elevators, multiple commercial spaces, and stands on a 590-square-meter site with a 15.62-meter frontage in central Melbourne.
Among the first buildings in Melbourne to incorporate elevator technology, the structure received its electric lift installation in 1926 to complement its original hydraulic system.
