Newcastle Roundhouse scores a spot on State Heritage Register

BY DAKOTA TAIT

Newcastle's iconic Roundhouse building has been recognised on the State Heritage Register.

The former City Administration Centre, now a five-star hotel, is being acknowledged as a key example of brutalist architecture in New South Wales.

The building originally opened in 1977, taking five years to build.

Local architect Brian Suters, who worked with the original design team, nominated the site for listing.
