Ornate Art Deco #1 of 2

I have seen a claim that the building in the centre here is the favourite building of the citizens of Melbourne, in which it resides. It is called "The Manchester Unity Building". For a long time it was the highest building in Melbourne, at the maximum allowed, until modern engineering techniques enabled height restrictions to be lifted.

 

To the left, the portico of the Melbourne town hall can be seen. Once, from the upper level, The Beatles looked down on one of the largest crowds they ever attracted outside a large arena. (See introductory comment.)
