Exotic cast iron bandstand in Prahran

This #bandstand in the #GrattanGardens in #Prahran was built in … nobody knows, just ‘late 19th century’. Very interesting #castiron, almost #MoorishStyle, from the Alhambra, but the #corrugatediron roof rather detracts from the elegance, though it was at least originally green. It’s been moved a couple of times, in the process lost the balustrades (pic 5), which are back since it was renovated and repainted in 2019, but they don’t look much like the originals, judging from the blurry postcard. Wonder when the last time a band performed there…
