AFT House

-

Located at 16-18 O'Connell Street in the Sydney CBD AFT House was previously known as Delfin House and the Bank of NSW House. The building was originally a banking chamber with offices above and it exemplifies the Art Deco style.

Built in 1940 and designed by architect C Bruce Dellit it is one of Australia's finest examples of the Art Deco office building.

The ceiling in the right hand side foyer contains Dellit's signature design element stepped pyramids. These features can also be seen in the chapel in Kinsella's funeral parlour at Taylor Square and also the ANZAC War memorial in Hyde Park.
