Domain Rd

This begins with some buildings photographed as we walked back from the Remembrance ceremony at the Shrine.  Information about the history of the buildings is taken from "Walking Melbourne's Domain Parklands" by L. 'Oscar' Slater (2004).  This post may well get updated as I take more photos.

148 Domain St, The Gables.  Note the address is Domain St, not Domain Rd.  The Street runs from  Toorak Rd up to Domain Rd.  A particular feature is this cantilevered balcony.  Slater thinks this is the oldest brick building in this part of South Yarra.

107 Domain Rd: known as 'Pasley' the ironwork is a key feature.  There is also a Pasley St on the Eastern side of Fawkner Park and I suspect both reference Charles Pasley who seems to have been a major player in the administration of Victoria in the mid 19th Century. 

11 Domain Rd, 'Melrose'.  One of several houses designed by the local architect Joseph Crook.  The windows are a special feature.

119 - 123 Domain Red.  This was originally 3 houses and seems to have had a chequered history, starting as the residence of the Directors of the Observatory but by1991 it had become (according to Slater) "a low grade lodging house.".  It has since been extensively and expensively renovated and is now presumably well set up as it should be with this location.
