An elaborate composition in a wedged shape eccentuating the unusual site of the junction and focussing on the corner tower which originates in an oriel and terminates in an eclectic Italianate / Mannerist spire with the elegance of Second Empire France. Meticulously detailed, a trademark expression of the Melbourne Boom Style.

History
