Its striking design, attributed to Andrew Clarke (then Surveyor-General of Victoria), was based on the traditional Circus or Crescent developments of Georgian London, where housing was laid out in a curve around a central public reserve. Clarke’s original scheme, as depicted on an 1855 survey map, proposed a rectangular estate with curved ends, defined by Park Street, Howe Crescent, Bridport Street and Merton Crescent. It comprised two concentric rows of residential allotments with a laneway between, enclosing an open space with two small elliptical reserves flanking a longer round-ended reserve, the latter with indications of landscaping and a network of curved pathways. This grand scheme, however, was not realised at that time, and would subsequently be revised when it was decided to run the new St Kilda railway line parallel to Ferrars Street, which effectively split the proposed St Vincent Place estate into two parts. A revised design, prepared by Clement Hodgkinson in 1857, proposed the development of each portion as a discrete subdivision. The smaller eastern portion, east of the new railway line, became a stand-alone estate with two streets that curved around a central semi-circular reserve alongside the railway cutting.

    Port Phillip Heritage Review 129 Dundas Place) or rows of three (114-118 and 146-150 Bridport Street), four (101-107 Bridport Street) or even five (109-117 and 124-132 Bridport Street; 115-123 Victoria Avenue). The longest row, with eight identical shops, stands at 133-147 Victoria Avenue. Victorian shops are of brick construction, mostly with rendered façades although some in bichromatic brick (eg 101-107 Bridport Street; 115-123 Victoria Avenue), occasionally overpainted. Typical of the ornate Boom style of the 1880s, facades have moulded pilasters, cornices and stringcourses, and parapets with shaped pediments (half-round, segmental, rectangular or triangular) embellished with decorative motifs such as balustrades, brackets, consoles, urns and orbs. Some of the more unusual and striking details include vermiculated quoining (133-147 Victoria Avenue), rendered lettering (eg the exchange buildings at 91-93 Dundas Place, and a t craven chemist at 134 Bridport Street) or wrought iron balconettes to upstairs windows (93-95 Victoria Avenue). Windows at the upper levels are variously rectangular, round-arched or segmental-arched, with a broad range of Italianate-style decorative treatments including pediments, colonettes, pilasters, balustraded sills and moulded architraves with keystones. In a few cases, the upper level has been set back to create a balcony with a wrought iron balustrade (eg 133-147 Victoria Avenue) or an arcaded loggia (eg 163 and 183-187 Victoria Avenue). Some of these balconies have been infilled. At ground floor, these Victorian shops generally retain their original shopfront fitouts, such as splayed entrances with tiled thresholds, huge metal-framed windows with multi-paned or leadlight highlights, and spandrels with glazed green or brown ceramic tiles.

  • Whilst Restrictions Have Started to Lift We Are Still Not Totally Free to Roam
    In house ladies’ group of the Hawthorn Football Club May 2020 Whilst restrictions have started to lift we are still not totally free to roam wherever we wish! So a long newsletter to read while keeping warm inside, also don’t forget our weekly morning tea via Zoom! These have been a lot of fun seeing each other and sharing what we have been doing and how we cope in isolation. Bev wrote after the event: It went really well this morning. It was good to see the familiar faces once again. I must say I am really looking forward to seeing people face-to-face when this strange way of life is over. However, the most important thing is that we all keep well. Cheers, Bevxx MESSAGES FROM OUR MEMBERS: Hi Thornbirds, Hope you’re coping and making the best and most of isolation!! Never done so many jobs I’d closed my eyes to months ago!! Miss seeing all of you and of course, our Family and other friends. So interesting reading your early memories Val as some reminded me of mine and Hawthorn. I also followed Essendon growing up because my Father did!! even though we never went to a game (lucky) My Fathers nickname was also Megsy. It wasn’t until I met my Husband Peter at Ziegfeld’s Dance Hawthorn that I started going to games at Glenferrie and That was That!! We also attended Functions at the social club and were lucky enough to hold our 40th Wedding Anniversary lunch there (last private lunch I believe?) September 2004.Great Times Great Memories.

With the onset of the Gold Rush in 1851, an immigration depot was established on the western side of St Kilda Road, but this quickly became inadequate for the many thousands of incoming fortune-seekers. To alleviate this pressure, the government allocated part of the swampland further to the west, which developed into sprawling settlement of tents nicknamed Canvas Town. In the City of Port Phillip Heritage Review, Andrew Ward paints a vivid picture of this early development: When William Howitt arrived in September 1852, the locality was covered in tents in which hundreds of immigrants were housed at the punitive rate of five shillings a week. From December, a much larger Canvas Town of government tents with some timber barracks near Princes Bridge “bloomed” along the west side of St. Kilda Road, south of its junction with City Road. Thousands were housed there until 1854.242 A more ordered solution was needed and it was in 1852 that surveyor Hoddle prepared a plan for a new township to be located on and around Emerald Hill, which represented the highest point in the area.

I can remember coming across what he had recorded and that I had shown particular interest in his very early recollections and of course his great cricket stories. While he had recorded a great deal of information he never quite got to finish the story. After Dad’s passing I thought that it would be great to complete his story and to make it available to those who would like to know more about him, and also to family and friends who shared in his journey along the way. I have added more from Christmas letters he had written plus my own memories from over the last fifteen to twenty years. Fortunately, Ian was very meticulous in keeping records and information. Ian McGregor Stuart was known to many of his friends simply as “Stuey”.

The grandstand was designed in the Moderne style by Stuart Calder in association with Marsh and Michaelson and constructed in red brick. The Glenferrie Oval Grandstand is of historic and architectural significance to the State of Victoria. The Glenferrie Oval Grandstand is historically important to the history of Victoria and the State¹s development of leisure activities through its social and cultural associations with Australian Rules Football, the favoured spectator sport for many Victorians for much of its history.
