Treasury building, Sydney, Heritage government building in Sydney, Australia
The Treasury Building stands at the intersection of Macquarie and Bridge Streets, featuring Victorian Neo-Classical architecture with Italian Palazzo influences across its sandstone facade.
The construction evolved through multiple stages from 1849 to 1919, with architects Mortimer Lewis, Edmund Blacket, Walter Liberty Vernon, and George McRae contributing to its development.
The structure served as the location for the proclamation of the Australian Commonwealth in 1901, marking a defining moment in the nation's constitutional history.
The building now operates as part of the InterContinental Sydney hotel, following a comprehensive restoration that maintains its heritage characteristics while offering modern amenities.
The Treasury Building incorporates a fire-proof Strong Room from the 1890s, demonstrating early architectural innovations in Australian government building security measures.
