Hong Kong House, Heritage building in Sydney, Australia
The five-story Victorian Free Classical structure stands at the intersection of Druitt Street and York Street, near Sydney Town Hall and Queen Victoria Building.
Built in 1891 following architect Ambrose Thornley's design, the building initially operated as Gresham Hotel with a City Bank branch at ground level from 1896.
The building represents lasting connections between Hong Kong and Australia, marked by a commemorative plaque unveiled in 2011 by New South Wales Governor and Hong Kong Chief Executive.
Hong Kong House currently serves as the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Sydney, managing tourism development and governmental operations between the two regions.
During the 2014 Hong Kong protests, citizens covered the building's street-level frontages with Post-it notes expressing solidarity with demonstrators.
