Burns Philp Building, Sydney, Commercial building in Bridge Street, Sydney, Australia
The Burns Philp Building features sandstone exterior walls, arched openings, vaulted entry vestibules, and combines steel, timber, masonry, and cast iron elements.
Construction of the five-story structure began in 1899 by Mitchell and King, following designs from architects A. L. and G. McCredie for the Burns Philp Company.
The Federation Romanesque architectural design represents the commercial success of Australian maritime trade companies during the late nineteenth century.
The building now contains separate commercial offices after its conversion to strata title in 1997, following the sale of the Burns Philp Company.
A fire from the neighboring George Patterson House caused substantial damage to the rear section of the building in January 1996.
