One of Melbourne's first large volume office buildings. The offices of the Temperance and General Life Assurance Society were constructed in three stages: 1928 - 29, 1939 and 1959. The architects were A & K Henderson. It was described as "Melbourne's most beautiful building" in a competition run by the Herald in 1930 and remains a visible demonstration of the strength of Australian commerce in the inter-war period.
