Argus Building, Heritage newspaper building in Melbourne, Australia
The Argus Building stands at the intersection of La Trobe and Elizabeth Streets, featuring ornamental details across its brick facade and Victorian-era architectural elements.
The structure, completed in 1926, served as headquarters for The Argus newspaper until 1956, marking an important period in Australian journalism and publishing history.
The building represents the golden age of print media in Melbourne, when newspapers held substantial influence over public discourse and social development.
Melbourne Institute of Technology now occupies the structure following a major renovation, with direct access to public transportation at Melbourne Central station.
The building incorporates an elliptical cone bridge connecting it to the adjacent Argus Centre, resulting from specific wind tunnel testing requirements.
