Holyman house melbourne cbd 390 flinders st victoria australia 3000
Holyman House is an iconic Art Deco building in the CBD of Launceston, Tasmania. The building was built in 1936 to house the various branches of Holymans shipping and aviation interests as well as an automobile showroom for Holyman's automotive division. The building was designed to reflect the bold futuristic vision of the Holyman Company with the sleek curves, neon-lit spire and modern steel frame construction. Holyman House was most infamously the headquarters of Australian National Airways, an evolution of Holyman's Airways. After the fall of the Holyman's empire in the 1950s, it was sold to Ansett Australia and eventually divided into office spaces. Holyman House now houses a travel center on the ground level corner allotment where the flight lounge used to be.
