RHSVs facade


I had a meeting in Melbourne on Thursday (well two actually) and the second one was at the Royal Historical Society of Victoria. The Society which began in 1909 is housed in the former headquarters of the Australian Army Medical Corps. Built on the corner of William & A'Beckett Streets it is an art deco building - even the air ventilation grills have an art deco curve to them. Our meeting was held upstairs in the Sergeants Mess.


The Society who promote & preserve the history of Victoria, are currently holding a display on "Beyond the facade" the book on the history of the Flinders Street Railway Station.
