libraries in Australia. It was the second purpose-built library and the only remaining public library in Sydney dating from the early twentieth century. The building is still in use and has a lengthy association with several historically important persons such as <a href="/wiki/New_South_Wales_Government_Architect" title="New South Wales Government Architect">Government Architect</a> WL Vernon. It is significant for the prominent position it occupies at the termination of one of the most historically important streetscapes in Australia. The building is of aesthetic significance reflecting important stylistic influences on the architecture of the twentieth century. The library is a recognised symbol in Sydney and has had a long association with the provision of library services to the local and regional community of New South Wales. The development and interior layout of the progressive stages of the building reflect the changing attitudes to library planning theory. It is significant as one of the only Government buildings in the <a href="/wiki/Federation_of_Australia" title="Federation of Australia">Federation</a> Academic Classical styles.

The building is the second purpose-built library in Sydney, and the earliest remaining. The Mitchell Wing is specifically associated with a number of prominent Sydney residents who have acted as benefactors, librarians, architects and craftsmen on the building. The bequests of three people, namely <a href="/wiki/Edward_Wise_(judge)" title="Edward Wise (judge)">Edward Wise</a>, <a href="/wiki/David_Scott_Mitchell" title="David Scott Mitchell">David Scott Mitchell</a> and <a href="/wiki/William_Dixson" title="William Dixson">William Dixson</a> formed the basis of the collections. The Mitchell Wing houses a unique collection of Australiana and reference material held in Trust by the State Library of New South Wales for the general public. The building is closely associated with the development of the NSW Government Architect's Office and particularly with the work of Walter Liberty Vernon, Richard McDonald Seymour Wells, Cobden <a href="/wiki/Parkes,_New_South_Wales" title="Parkes, New South Wales">Parkes</a> and Edward Herbert Farmer.<sup id="cite_ref-nswshr-1071_5-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-nswshr-1071-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-nswshr-1071-1071-1_112-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-nswshr-1071-1071-1-112"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>112<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><b>The place has a strong or special association with a particular community or cultural group in New South Wales for social, cultural or spiritual reasons.</b> </p><p>The building, as the repository of a unique collection of Australiana, is crucial to the community's sense of place. The importance of the building to the community is demonstrated in part by its completion in the early 1940s when other public works had been severely reduced by World War II. The inclusion of the Mitchell Wing on a number of Commonwealth, State and Local heritage registers indicates the value placed on the building by the community.<sup id="cite_ref-nswshr-1071_5-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-nswshr-1071-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-nswshr-1071-1071-1_112-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-nswshr-1071-1071-1-112"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>112<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><b>The place has potential to yield information that will contribute to an understanding of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales.</b> </p><p>The original Mitchell Stack of steel and glass was regarded as highly innovative at the time of its construction.
