The building, located on Herd Street, was designed by Edmund Anscombe and built in 1939. The building is situated on reclaimed land, and sits on about 400 concrete piles up to 18m long. It originally had two full-size tennis courts on the roof, but these were demolished during World War II to make way for a sixth storey.

It has a Category II listing with Heritage New Zealand. (en) |
