#Kingsclere in #FitzroyStreetStKilda has a rather late Edwardian facade for its 1926 date, but has an interesting interior, being built around a courtyard, very rare in Melbourne. Though seems architect #PJOconnor didn’t think the it needed to be anything other than very plain #redbrick; it’s quite lushly planted now which is nice for the flats that look out onto it.

One thought on “Kingsclere, Fitzroy Street, St Kilda, 1926

  1. Unable to determine from these pictures but what I find with many of this era of apartments is that subsequent renovations almost without fail spoil the interiors with the removal of walls etc – have seen this happen many times. This is a really singular sort of apartment complex for that era isn’t it.
