The Royal Exhibition Building - Melbourne

Melbourne’s Royal Exhibition Building, erected for the Melbourne International Exhibition of 1880-1, is one of Australian most prominent and historic public buildings. It is a monumental structure that stands in the Carlton Gardens near the centre of Melbourne as a testimony to the Victorian spirit of enterprise and industry in late nineteenth century Australia. 

Designed by noted Australian architect, Joseph Reed, it is a fine early example of the use of timber in the structure and finish of a large classical style building in Australia.
