Grace History
The Grace Building was constructed during the late 1920s and opened in 1930 by the Australian department store impresarios, the Grace Brothers, as their Sydney headquarters. Inspired by the Chicago Tribune building in the USA, the Grace exemplified the Neo Gothic architectural style and contained state of the art innovations and facilities for its time.
The Grace was commandeered by the Australian Government in 1942 for the use of General Douglas MacArthur during his South Pacific operations in World War II and continued to be used in the ensuing years for government administration purposes.
Extensive renovation during the 1990s retained and meticulously restored its many original features such as light fittings, lifts, stairwells, high pressed-metal ceilings, marble floors, wide hallways and elegant decorative ironwork.
The Grace Building has been recently classified as a heritage building, integral to the Sydney CBD landscape, by The Australian National
