Department of Education Building, Government administrative building in Sydney, Australia
The Department of Education Building occupies an entire city block bordered by Bridge, Loftus, Bent, and Young Streets with four sandstone façades.
Colonial Architect George McRae designed this Edwardian Baroque structure, completed in two stages: the northern section in 1912 and the southern portion in 1938.
The William Wilkins Art Gallery within the building maintains a collection highlighting the development of New South Wales public education system.
The structure underwent modifications in 1996 to integrate modern facilities while maintaining its original architectural elements and historical features.
The building transitions from its educational administrative role to become part of a luxury hotel development known as the sandstone precinct.
