2-6 Henry St (was 4-8 pre 1938)
Former Falk Building, Seppelts Building Facade, ACTA Building
No. 2 Henry Street, on the corner of Henry and Phillimore Streets.
Until 1896 the property was owned by Mr Horwood. A new building was constructed in 1888-89 for P. Falk & Co. to F.W. Burwell’s design. Burwell was responsible for substantial additions in 1903 (Builder James Brownlie); he was probably responsible for the gracefully curved facade which is all that remains of the original building.
2 Henry St still has the curved facade of the Falk Building but the interior - and that of 4-8 Henry St- was completely rebuilt for the occupation of various commonwealth government departments - which have since moved on.
