This Victorian building in the Queen Anne style still stands on the corner of Elizabeth and Little Collins Streets. It was built in 1888 for the City of Melbourne Building Society and its elaborate facade is indicative of the wealth which abounded in Melbourne at this time. I have always been fascinated by the building’s incredible array of turrets, balconies and irregular windows. I would love to see this building given a proper clean! Equally as fascinating is the photo itself. Taken in 1890, you can see some Melburnians of the late 19th century, a horse and cart, and a moving tram (which I have tried to capture myself in the photo below!)
