Here is a photograph of a completed Shell House that was taken in 1933.

Shell Australia Limited have vacated the premises, and it is now a four-star, 60 apartment hotel. The hotel's web site proclaims "terrazzo floors, sweeping marble and wrought iron stairway, ... sleek geometric lines, stained glass, ornate plaster and balconies carved in stone", so it all sounds very luxurious. Here is a recent picture of it.

The building, now called Rothbury on Ann, is right across the road from Central Station and two streets away from the GPO, making it a very convenient location.
