The Skyscraper

Orica House at 1 Nicholson Street, East Melbourne changed the skyline of Melbourne forever when it was built in 1958.

At the time it was the symbol of Melbourne’s modernity and progress. It also could have killed a lot of people soon after it opened.

I spoke to the most excellent Sammy J on ABC 774 Melbourne Radio about Orica House and how Orica House almost became quite lethal. Listen to my segment about Orica House by clicking here.
