General notes:
Image held by North Melbourne Library. Built from 1962 - 64, BP House (now apartments) was designed by architect, Anthony B Armstrong, for the Melbourne firm of R.S. Demaine, Russell, Trundle, Armstrong & Orton Pty Ltd. The twenty-one storey tower moves away from the International Style 'box' form and the thinness of the curtain wall to a more monumental, sculptural solution. It was completed in 1962 with heavy concrete balconies and recessed windows.
