T & G Mutual Life Assurance Building is a heritage-listed office building at 45 Hunter Street, Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia.
The building was built in 1923 for McIlwraith, McEacharn & Company and named Scottish House. It was designed by Spain and Cosh and built by contractors Stuart Brothers. The cost of the building and land amounted to approximately £100,000.[1]
In 1935, it was bought by the T & G Mutual Life Assurance Society for approximately £90,000, in what was then the biggest sale of any single freehold property in Newcastle.[2]
In the early 1990s, the building was known as Hunter House.[3]
