Reece House - Burnie


Reece House is located in the Burnie CBD, and is its tallest Brutalist period building. Indeed it can be viewed as 'the Tasmanian Triangle' of Brutalist buildings. The triangle of iconic period buildings is 10 Murray Street in Hobart, Henty House in Launceston, and Reece House in Burnie. I just love the clean lines, dominance and honesty of these period buildings.

    There was also talk last year of painting Henty House too.
