Designs were prepared by James Moore formerly of the Melbourne & Hobson's Bay Railway Company, and a contract was signed in September 1888.

[1] Originally consisting of a basement and three floors, the fourth floor was added in 1912, changing the skyline from one dominated by large pediments, finials and statuary above the main entrance to one dominated by a pair of distinctively Edwardian domes flanking an arched windows on the centre.

A number of statues graced the top of the building, but were removed in 1930 when they began to break up and were considered a danger to the passing public.

[1] By 1925 the VR magazine reported that the building was overcrowded, with some departments moved to the Newport Workshops.

[1] In 1989 Melbourne's Greek community offered to buy the building for $7.9 million,[3] but again the contract fell through.
