BUILDING
Building 6
Another of the Public Works Department buildings, built along Bowen Street from the 1910s to the 1950s, this building was originally created for the Melbourne Technical College’s Printing School.
Built in the functional style of early European modernism, the building has housed the printing workshop, Architecture, Interior Design and the beginnings of the central library over its history.
