MARVELLOUS MELBOURNE'S ARCHITECTURE

This beautifully illustrated photographic book offers a fascinating insight into Melbourne’s architecture from the late nineteenth to the early twentieth century. Showcasing historic buildings and institutions, it reveals the rich history and development of the city through a collection of archival images and historical information.

Drawing on material from a school project completed in the 1980s, the book combines original research with updated information on heritage buildings that have since been demolished, forgotten, restored, or remain standing today. Through then-and-now perspectives, it highlights the transformation of Melbourne’s built environment and takes readers on a nostalgic journey through the city’s past.
