Nicholas Building
The Nicholas Building was home to businesses associated with the Flinders Lane garment trade, commercial artists, medical practitioners and architects, in the city of Melbourne, Australia. It is located at 37 Swanston St, at the intersection of Swanston Street and Flinders Lane in the heart of the city. It was designed by architect Harry Norris and built for Alfred Nicholas. The building was completed in 1926 and the architecture style was influenced by the 'Chicago Style' of architecture.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.walkingmelbourne.com/building526_nicholas-building.html )〕 The Nicholas Building includes shops, restaurants, artist studios, jewellers and the like.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.whitehat.com.au/melbourne/Buildings/NicholasBldg.asp )〕
==History==
The Nicholas brothers were the original owners, who found wealth in reinventing aspirin after the original patent was suspended post-World War I. The Nicholas company never occupied the building; it was instead built as a speculative office building development. It was completed in 1926 by architect Harry Norris and was the grandest 1920s palazzo in the city. Harry Norris himself also ran a business in the building, until the mid-fifties. From 1926 to 1967 a Coles department store occupied the basement and ground floor, making it the oldest store in Melbourne. The building was home to businesses associated with the Flinders Lane garment trade, commercial artists, medical practitioners and architects. Nowadays the building is occupied by artist studios, jewellers and the like.〔
The novel ''Shantaram'', written by one of Australia’s most wanted fugitives Gregory David Roberts, was written in the building.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.theliftedbrow.com/?p=175 )〕 In 2003 it is believed a stencil by UK artist Banksy was painted on the building at the corner of Swanston St and Flinders Lane; a piece of plastic was put up over the piece to protect it from the elements but was later painted over by vandals causing a disturbance in the art community.
