Holyman House, Art Deco office building in Launceston, Tasmania

Holyman House is an Art Deco building in Launceston's central business district, designed by H. S. East and Roy Sharrington Smith with Clive Steele as consulting engineer. Built in 1936, it has a modern steel frame, sleek curves and a neon-lit spire. It originally housed the Holyman family's shipping and aviation branches and an automobile showroom.

Constructed in 1936, the building served as headquarters for a local shipping and aviation company owned by the Holyman family. The structure was built as the business expanded its services across Tasmania.

The building shows how modern design ideas came to Launceston in the 1930s, with clean lines and geometric forms that replaced heavier decoration from earlier times. Locals recognize it as a turning point in how the city's skyline began to change during that decade.

The building sits at the intersection of George and Brisbane streets in Launceston's business district, making it easy to reach on foot. Ground-level spaces house a travel center and other services, while upper floors contain office space.

The neon-lit spire was a beacon of the Holyman company's futuristic ambitions, and the building's steel frame was among the first of its kind in Launceston. Records of the Holyman businesses tied to the building are held in the University of Tasmania's special collections, while construction plans are kept by the Tasmanian Archive and Heritage Office in Hobart.
