Henty House
The building
Henty House was built in 1924 to a design by the architecture firm W & R Butler, for the merchant firm James Henty & Co, on a site St James' church had occupied until 1914. It went up as offices, with Henty & Co on the whole ground floor and the upper floors let to tenants. The Federal Government took it over in 1947 for the Civil Aviation Department. It was converted to apartments in 1996.
