Metters Building, Commercial heritage building on Elizabeth Street, Sydney, Australia

The Metters Building is a six-story commercial structure on Elizabeth Street in Sydney's business district, distinguished by Federation Anglo-Dutch architecture with arched windows and solid spandrels. The structure displays a characteristic corner bay window with extensive glazing that is visible from the street.

The site was acquired in 1913 for stove manufacturer Metters Limited and designed by architects Robertson and Marks in 1914. The building arose during a period when local industrial firms proudly built their new office headquarters in central Sydney.

The building's name comes from Metters Limited, the stove manufacturer that bought the site in April 1913 for £10,000 and used the premises as showrooms and offices. The Sydney Morning Herald described the planned Elizabeth Street elevation as mostly Old English in style, with a large oriel window rising from the first to the sixth storey.

The building sits in the heart of the business district and is easily reached by public transport. The interior retains original fire stairs and metal ceilings, though public access may be limited depending on current use.

Domenico Chisari has been the longest-serving maintenance man at the Metters Building, working there from 1974 to the present. He knows the residents and the fabric of the place from that time on. The building also keeps an original timber fire stair, an uncommon survival above the ground floor.
