Booth House stands on the corner of Bridge and Young Streets, one block south of Sydney's Circular Quay. It was built by Frederick Harper Booth in 1938 as a base for his wool-broking business which stretched around the world. The building reflects an important period of development in the city during the 1930s and is an excellent and rare expression of the Functionalist style meeting a need for continuous natural light, through bands of windows, to accommodate wool-broking activities.
