Statement of Significance
The former Melbourne Wool Exchange was erected in 1913-14 by Monier Reinforced Concrete Constructions. The architects were Purchas and Teague. The building served as the Wool Exchange until 1972. The reinforced concrete structure comprises four levels containing offices and former sales rooms. The major salesroom (82 feet x 120 feet) is illuminated naturally by a lantern light. This building is notable for its former role as the Melbourne Wool Exchange and once operated as the heart of the wool-broking business in Victoria. It is designed in a classical style that was common during this period and is one of the largest examples in this style. It is an interesting example of the works of Purchas and Teague and a landmark of King Street.
