Our Building
The building that houses the Lowy Institute was built for the New South Wales Club founded in 1886. Located in Bligh Street in Sydney’s central business district, it is classified by the National Trust and listed for permanent conservation under the 1976 Heritage Act - one of the first buildings to be saved from demolition under the Act. It is the finest Italian Palazzo façade surviving from the Victorian period in Australia.
This classic sandstone building built of Pyrmont brick joinery, slate roof and fine Victorian interiors was designed by William Wardell, one of the most distinguished architects of his time.
