History of Scottish House
Established in 1908
Scottish House, designed in 1907 by Australian architect Charles D’Ebro for the mercantile agents and shipowners McIlwraith, McEacharn & Co., served as their headquarters for over 70 years. Significant interior alterations in the 1950s led to the loss of many original features. Originally conceived as an office block, Scottish House reflects 118 years of Australia’s business history, showcasing the evolution of naval, shipbuilding, mining, investment, and business practices.
In the early 2000s, the Australian Club acquired the property and engaged RBA for a Conservation Management Plan. By 2005, RBA had assessed the Pyrmont sandstone façade, using sustainable repair methods in line with the Burra Charter. The building, situated next to the Australian Club and the Queensland Building, creates an iconic streetscape on William St., highlighting Melbourne’s pre-World War I architectural heritage.
Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.
