Red Cross House, Commercial heritage building in Sydney, Australia
Located at 153-159 Clarence Street, Red Cross House features reinforced concrete construction, mushroom head columns, Art Deco motifs, and steel frame windows with curved terminations.
The building, constructed from 1937 to 1938 by Kell & Rigby, was designed by Samuel Lipson in collaboration with Robertson, Marks and McCredie for S. Hoffnung & Co.
The structure represents the late 1930s architectural development in Sydney's traditional warehousing district, combining commercial functions with medical and welfare services.
The building maintains its original street facades along Clarence and Kent Streets, with modifications including ventilation ducts and renovations for blood transfusion services.
Listed on three separate heritage registers, the building serves as headquarters for Australian Red Cross while preserving its original commercial warehouse characteristics.
