The world’s third tallest building, at 12 storeys, when it was constructed in 1889, this building dominated Melbourne’s skyline for decades.
At one time visible from anywhere in the city, the Australia Building, located at 43 to 49 Elizabeth Street, Melbourne City Centre, was also the first tall building to employ mechanical lifts (powered hydraulically by high pressure water pumped from the Yarra).
In 1980 its distinctive red facade and ornate roof was demolished for commercial office space.
