Laiki Bank House, Castlereagh Street, night

 
Laiki Bank House in Castlereagh Street is enhanced by coloured lights reflected off the facade at night. This is a heritage listed building which was once housed the City South Telephone Exchange, built in 1922 and designed by commonwealth architect John Smith Murdoch, in the Commercial Palazzo style. It now houses the Consulate of Greece, as well as a bank branch and the Australian headquarters of Laiki Bank (Popular Bank of Greece).  A daytime view of this building can be seen here.
