Department of Education Building

The Department of Education Building, located in Sydney's central business district, is a heritage-listed structure showcasing the Edwardian Baroque architectural style. Designed by Colonial Architect George McRae, the building was completed in two stages, with the first part finished in 1912 and the second in 1938. It has been a significant site for the New South Wales government, housing the Department of Education since its inception. The building is notable for its impressive sandstone façades and historical importance, having served as a hub for educational administration and policy development. As of 2019, it is undergoing redevelopment into a luxury hotel, promising to blend its rich history with modern hospitality.
