Description
This art deco office building on Great Charles Street was once home to the Colonial Mutual Life Assurance, a company founded in Melbourne, Australia in 1873.  On either side of the entrance there are some rather good bas-relief sculptures of some rather serious looking gentlemen.  Since I have found no information about the sculptures, I can only speculate that these must have been men who were associated with CML.
