Holyman House

Holyman House is an iconic Art Deco building in the central business district of Launceston, Tasmania, Australia.

The building was designed by H. S. East[1] and Roy Sharrington Smith architects,[2][3] of Launceston,[4] with Clive Steele, of Melbourne, as consulting engineer.

[10][11][12] The building was designed to reflect the bold futuristic vision of the Holyman Company with the sleek curves, neon-lit spire and modern steel frame construction.

[13] After the fall of the Holyman's empire in the 1950s, it was sold to Ansett Australia and eventually divided into office spaces.

[15][16] University of Tasmania special collections holds records of the operations of the Holyman businesses related to the building.
