The Manchester Unity Building, the once tallest structure in Melbourne, Australia, is also one of the most historic and revered sites in the city. Blending culture, business, art and science, the monument has contributed to the prosperous economy of the community and has boosted its character with its refined decor. When you take a medical job in Australia, you should take a tour through the skyscraper either by requesting it privately or catching one of its annual open house weekends.
Designed in neo Gothic style, the towering building stands out in comparison to more modern skyscrapers that typically dot cityscapes across the globe. Inside, you might find jewelers, dental offices and its iconic boardroom, which puts old-time film or television sets like Mad Men to shame. The plush leather chairs and occasional table setting of fine crystal, depending on the event happening that day, will make you feel like you have to hold your breath so as to not interrupt whatever meeting is taking place in the regal room.
Your trip will not be complete until you've ventured up the tower along the winding metal staircase. Once you reach the top, you can take in the stunning views of Melbourne from one of the most awe-inspiring buildings in all of Australia.
