Statement of Significance
Individual Statement of Significance: Built for Victor Horsley Chambers P/L in 1920-22, as one of the State's earliest and most successful examples of commercial Modern Georgian, Victor Horsley Chambers shows an apparent effort by the architectural firm, Blackett & Porster, to harmonize with the classical revival character of Collins Street east and thus provides a precursor to the philosophy behind the first Street Architecture Award made to the same firm's Francis House opposite. As with other buildings in this part of Collins Street it has housed some of the nation's most respected medical practitioners of the period and, with its current internal integrity, which includes the lobby and metal cage lifts, reflects some of the context in which they practised.
