Sturt House on Linton Street in Casuarina once served as the Northern Territory Housing Commission offices, illustrating the utilitarian bureaucratic architecture that supported government housing functions in the late twentieth century.
Although it has since been demolished to make way for car park infrastructure associated with the Casuarina Shopping Centre, the building typified modest modernist administrative buildings of its era, with a straightforward plan and materials selected for durability and low maintenance.
Its removal underscores the rapid pace of urban redevelopment in Casuarina in recent decades, where older institutional buildings have often given way to new commercial uses.
Heritage Status: Not Listed (demolished).
