Science House, Historic commercial building in The Rocks, Sydney, Australia
Science House stands at 157-169 Gloucester Street with classical details and Georgian influence, featuring concrete-encased steel frame and external masonry walls.
The building, designed by Peddle Thorp & Walker Architects and constructed by John Grant and Sons in 1930, opened its doors on May 7, 1931.
The structure served as headquarters for major scientific organizations, including the Royal Society of NSW, Australian Chemical Institute, and Institution of Engineers Australia.
The building underwent substantial renovations in 1995-96 to modernize infrastructure while preserving original features such as roof tiles and internal plasterwork.
Science House received the first Sir John Sulman Medal from the Council of the Institute of Architects of NSW in 1933 for its architectural excellence.
