Melbourne
Russell Street
Past & present.
The 1937 photograph of the Old Melbourne Gaol and the later views of police headquarters record two very different buildings on Russell Street. The chapter also follows the old Supreme Court at La Trobe Street and the Apollo Hotel at Flinders Lane. The corners help locate buildings whose neighbours have changed.
