Transport House building

Transport House won the Sulman Award for its architects Henry E Budden and Mackey in 1936, incorporating art deco interiors with the latest technology, such as air conditioning and escalators. Green tiles exactly the same colour as Sydney's railway carriages at the time marked the building as the headquarters of New South Wales State Railways.
