Summary

Description Challis House (No. 4 Martin Place) stands on land bought in 1906 for £500 per square foot by the University of Sydney from University endowment funds. The building was designed by W. L. Vernon, Government Architect and Robertson and Marks, Architects, and completed in 1907. The building was named Challis House after John Henry Challis, who in 1880 had bequeathed his estate valued at £276,000 (equivalent value of over $30.5 million in 2012) to the University. This art deco building is adorned with the University of Sydney's Coat of Arms and accompanying motto above its doors, and forms one of the most important parts of the University's property portfolio.
