Statement of Significance
A building of international interest in the context of the evolution of reinforced concrete construction, as the second example of the American C.A.P. Turner's flat plate system, begun in the same year (1908) and completed not long after Turner's Lindeke-Warner Building in Minnesota, USA; of further importance locally as one of the early attempts to break the monopoly of the Monier system, and reflecting in its design the fact that it began as a conventional concrete frame (probably Monier) and was altered after commencement, so that it retains octagonal columns and octagonally conical column heads, rather than round columns and flared heads: the whole now in a good state of preservation, including externally a five giant order arcade with the segmental arches and ornamental capitals provided by the engineer-designer, H.R. Crawford, although an inappropriate additional storey has been added to the top.
