The Strand Arcade, Victorian shopping arcade in Sydney Central Business District, Australia
The Strand Arcade spans 104 meters between Pitt Street Mall and George Street, featuring three levels of retail spaces under a glass roof.
Constructed between 1890 and 1892 by architects John Spencer and Charles Fairfax, the arcade survived two major fires and multiple economic downturns.
The retail center maintains traditional craftsmanship through specialty stores, including The Nut Shop operating since 1939 and multiple established jewelers.
The shopping center contains 65 stores across three floors, with access to public transportation and facilities for visitors with mobility requirements.
Cedar staircases, cast iron balustrades, and tiled floors remain in their original Victorian configuration, making it the last such arcade in Sydney.
