Statement of Significance
Anzac House was constructed for the Victorian branch of the Returned Sailors and Soldiers' Imperial League of Australia in 1938-39 to provide accommodation for administrative functions as well as tenantable office space. Architect Stanley Parkes, treasurer of Junior Legacy and principal of Oakley and Parkes, designed this four storey brick and reinforced concrete structure faced with Sydney sandstone in renaissance revival mode which complimented the buildings at the eastern end of Collins street. As such, it is important for the streetscape relationship with adjacent buildings including 'Portland House' and 'Alcaston House'. Oakley and Parkes accomplished proponents of the emerging modern style, integrated details from this movement within the interiors of Anzac House to contrasr with the notable renaissance piazzo facade.
