At the north end the polygonal shaped accumulator tower gives interest. The fine balance of the fenestration suggests F. de J. Clere's influence in designing the elevations. At the northern limit to the waterfront precinct and as a visual stop to the vista from Parliament Buildings it is a superior building and an excellent example of Edwardian architecture enhancing the townscape.
