Holyman House, Art Deco office building in Launceston, Tasmania
The five-story Holyman House features a steel frame structure with concrete walls, geometric shapes, and a 26-meter illuminated spire on its facade.
Constructed in 1936, the building served as headquarters for W. Holyman and Sons, a local shipping company that expanded into aviation services across Tasmania.
The steel-framed structure represents the architectural transition in Tasmania during the 1930s, incorporating modern design elements from the Art Deco movement.
Located at the intersection of George and Brisbane streets in Launceston's business district, the building contains office spaces and a ground-level travel center.
At the time of its completion, Holyman House stood as the largest office block in Launceston and remains the city's only building with a riveted steel frame.
