Skipping Girl Apartments, 655 Victoria St. - CHS

15. 655 Victoria St.

Former Handley and Tilley built 1929. The company was involved in the manufacture of aluminium plate. Now “Skipping Girl Apartments”. A lovely building, described as ‘an extraordinarily confident expression of the Moderne idiom’ with a strong vertical central element and symmetrical curves to either side. The whole complex is an excellent example of the Moderne style as applied to industrial architecture, and is of state significance. Cross to the other side of Victoria St for a better overall view.
