About the Building
One of Potts Point's most recognisable and fashionable Art Deco buildings, the building which is extremely well maintained is positioned in the Parisienne-end of this fashionable precinct, and directly opposite the Challis row of cafes and restaurants.
“Selsdon” at 16 Macleay Street was completed in 1934 to the design of architects Prevost and Ruwald, who were better known for the numerous pubs that they were responsible for in the 1920s and 1930s. Its medieval character recalls Old English styles, very much associated with Sydney’s domestic architecture during the 1930s, whilst the two pavilions on the roof are rather Romanesque in inspiration. It originally contained 52 flats.
