Queen Victoria Building
When he passed away in 1923, Scottish architect George McRae left behind a permanent legacy in his adopted hometown of Sydney, Australia.

A sandstone Romanesque Revival masterpiece, the QVB fills a complete city block of Sydney’s central business district. Some of the most striking architectural elements include a central dome, series of stained glass windows and slew of Victorian-era balustrades and cupolas. Ambitious interior details such as intricate tile mosaics, sculptures and ornate mechanical clocks remain largely intact. Completed in 1898, the QVB still stands as a magnificent and elaborate tribute to the reigning monarch of the day.
Vitals and Tips
The Queen Victoria Building is open every day of the week and contains four main shopping floors.
The Sydney landmark recently underwent a $48 million refurbishment project that took over six years to complete. The restoration and upgrade plan targeted formerly lost historical features of the building and sought to improve access and flow of pedestrian traffic between floors.
