Lost Buildings

This is a fairly random collection of lost buildings, but it is still a somewhat shocking discovery to note that of the sixteen I've listed, no fewer than six of the sites are now STILL used merely for parking. Four of those six carparks are used only by Notre Dame University, a business which does not pay local government taxes ('rates').

[[Buildings/post/cliffstpo.html|]]Cliff St Post Office, 1889-1967 - site has been a carpark behind the Sailors' Rest for many years, now used by NDU students. The PO was designed by J.J. Talbot Hobbs.

[[ivanhoe.html|]]Ivanhoe, 8 Ord St, near corner of High St, 1889-1966 - now townhouses.

[[Buildings/churches/johnston.html|]]Johnston Memorial Congregational Church, Adelaide St, 1877-1968 - now Johnson [sic] Court flats - they couldn't even get the name right!

[[liebler.html|]]Liebler Building facade, aka Reckitt & Colman Building facade, 21-29 - only the facade remains; there is a carpark behind it, where the rest of the building used to be* until it was demolished in 1967. *It's possible the facade always was a facade added to some ordinary cottages - I've forgotten where I read this.

[[Buildings/hotels/lodges.html|]]Lodge's Hotel, 1 Henry St, 1867-1958 - now an NDU carpark, having been demolished by the Workers Club.
