This building at 59 Cameron Street in the Tasmanian city of Launceston was formally occupied by the landscape artist Frederick Strange (1807-1873) in the mid nineteenth century, and later became the headquarters of the Launceston Equitable Building Society. The three-storey red brick and stucco building includes Gothic elements, most obviously in the use of pointed arches on the windows and entrance, including two lancet windows on the top storey, as well as the corner spires.
