Grace Building

Grace Building
The Grace Building is a historic building located in Sydney, New South Wales Australia. Designed by Morrow & Gordon and built by Kell & Rigby during the late 1920s, it was opened in 1930 by Grace Brothers (!), the Australian department store magnates, as their headquarters. The building was Inspired by the neo-Gothic Tribune Tower in Chicago and designed for a department store on the first two floors and office rental space above. It was extensively refurbished and restored in the 1990s and since June 1997, it has operated as a luxury hotel known as "the Grace Sydney".

I went on the roof of this in 1979 for work when doing an upgrade. One of the six receivers for the 1951 car phone system was in a small 'hut' on the roof. This was replaced by a new receiver on the Telecom Coy's building.

An excellent shot.
