Statement of Significance
Statement of Significance: The 1942-3 radio station complex Broadcast House, because of its high external integrity (and internally in part), is representative of the early development of radio in Victoria. It was designed by the country's foremost acoustics authority, architect H Vivian Taylor. It is of historic significance as it was built specifically to meet the home-front and overseas propaganda needs of war-time Australia, and continues to be the home of the A.B.C.

It was subsequently adapted as a studio in the A.B.C. complex.
