Grahame's Corner, Victorian commercial building at Pitt Street corner, Sydney, Australia
The four-story sandstone structure features classical elements around windows, Corinthian pilasters, and a belted ground floor extending along both street frontages.
The Australian Mutual Fire Insurance Society constructed this building between 1877 and 1882, establishing their headquarters at the intersection of Pitt and King Streets.
The building housed numerous insurance companies during the late 1800s, reflecting Sydney's financial district development following the Mutual Fire Insurance Association Act of 1841.
The structure maintains its original architectural details on the first and second floors, with an awning encircling both facades above ground level.
An octagonal tower with a cupola formerly extended twice the height of the main facade, marking this corner as a central point in Sydney's business district.
