Mitchell House is a six-storey Streamline Moderne art-deco commercial building in Melbourne, Australia. It was designed as a ten-storey building of 132 ft (40 meters), which was the height limit at that time. Out of the ten storeys, six storeys were built.[1]

The building is located at 352-362 Lonsdale Street on the corner of Elizabeth Street.

Australian architect Harry Norris planned a ten-storey building, the top four floors of which were never added to the first stage, which was completed in 1937. His client, Thos. Mitchell & Co, manufactured and distributed brushes.

The building was classified on 9 July 1987 and added to the Victorian Heritage Database[1] and that of the National Trust.[2]
