Orica House (FKA ICI House) is a 19-story office building. Begun in 1955 to house the headquarters of the Australian subsidiary of Imperial Chemical Industries, it was the tallest building in Australia upon completion in 1958. It was the first International Style skyscraper in the country. It symbolized progress, modernity, efficiency, and corporate power in postwar Melbourne, and heralded the construction of high-rise office buildings, changing the shape of Australia's major urban centers forever.
