Corn Exchange, Sydney
Corn Exchange, Sydney, Historic market building in Sydney Central Business District, Australia.
The three-story brick structure at 173-185 Sussex Street features elliptical arches, a pyramidal roof, and curving corners in Queen Anne style design.
Constructed in 1887 by architect George McRae, the building initially operated as a fruit market before transitioning into offices known as Corporation Buildings in 1891.
From 1967 to 1987, PACT Youth Theatre established its headquarters in the building, transforming it into a center for theatrical performances.
The building underwent substantial modifications in 1991, adapting its spaces for retail purposes while maintaining essential architectural elements of the original structure.
The structure employs a German system of brick and cast-iron framing specifically engineered for fire resistance, marking an advancement in 19th-century building technology.
