The British Medical Association Building is one of Sydney's great Art Deco treasures. Built in 1930 it was one of the tallest of the new skyscrapers (13 stories) in Sydney at the time, but what set it apart was the extraordinary decorations. The facade of the building is festooned with gargoyles and beautiful handmade tiles in rich designs that express Australian flora, fauna and medical symbols. It retains its original usage as medical consulting rooms.
