Railway House

Railway House at 19-31 York Street in the Sydney CBD is now known as Transport House. The 12 storey building was completed in 1936 and was designed by H. E. Budden & Mackey in the interwar Art Deco style.

The scale and architectural quality of the building is a reflection of the importance of the Railway system to Sydney and NSW at that time. It was considered one of the most modern buildings in the city with cutting edge design features including air conditioning and escalators down to Wynyard station.

The building displays an extensive use of green glazed terracotta tiles to the facade.
