The historic Nicholas Building is home to an eclectic mix of galleries, boutiques, artists, musicians, jewellers, designers, architects, and technology innovators.

Built in 1926, the heritage-listed building was designed by Harry Norris, and is ³Ô¹ÏÍø’s grandest example of ‘Chicago Style’ architecture. Listed by the National Trust, the building features a ground level arcade with a vaulted and domed lead-light ceiling.

Originally home to businesses associated with the Flinders Lane rag trade, commercial artists, medical practitioners and architects, the building is today one of the city's most thriving creative hubs.

The Nicholas Building Association was formed in 2017 to preserve and nurture the culture of the building, during a time in which it faces significant challenges. The association regularly organises open nights to promote the creative businesses that call it home.
