Statement of Significance

This four-storey office and arcade was built in 1906 for an E E Smith. The architect was Nahum Barnet.
Designed to capitalise on the pedestrian traffic generated by the growing use of Flinders Street station, it is an interesting neo-Baroque design that complements the adjacent Mutual Store building.
