Shieldfield House, Barker Street, Newcastle

At 252 feet, this point block is Newcastle's second tallest building, only ten feet shorter than its younger sister (NZ2665 : Vale House, Lansdowne Gardens, Newcastle). It was built in 1966 (skyscrapernews.com). The abstract relief is very much of its time.
