former Festival Records Building, Pyrmont

former Festival Records Building, PyrmontIs this perhaps the most beautiful IGA supermarket in Sydney?

Formerly Wakefield House, it was designed by architects Crane & Scott and built in 1939 for Castrol Australia.

In the mid 1960s it became Festival Records Recording Studio 'A'. Australian artists Kylie Minogue, Yothu Yindi, Cold Chisel & Peter Allen recorded in this building which was also used by international artists such as Bob Dylan, Neil Sedaka, Tom Petty, Julio Iglesias & Stevie Nicks.

The building is heritage listed and was remodelled for mixed commercial use several years ago.
