The #HotelWindsor tower is off ! 11 years after first proposed, #RichardWynne #MinisterForPlanning has refused to extend the permit. It was already extended by VCAT twice, and the last time they said it should be the last. So now maybe they’ll give up and sell ? Or just do the boutique redevelopment they should have done in the first place ?

We've been keeping an eye on this little warehouse in Drewery Place ever since one of Melbourne's most hidden #lanewaybars shut down last year, and it seems empty since. Such a shame that a character filled heritage building is sitting vacant, anyone out there know what's going on with it?

This photo in Elizabeth Street just up from Collins was taken in February - turns out it’s yet another building long abandoned above the ground floor (due to a crackdown on #fireregulations in the 70s) and finally it’s being restored as offices - for @plusarchitecture. It was built in 1889 for McLean Bros #ironmongers and furniture , and designed by #CharlesDEbro in a style somewhere between typical #RenaissanceRevival and the new #QueenAnne. From the mid 1890s it was G Robertson books & stationers ‘for 80 years’ and then it was Angus & Robertson (no connection unless they bought it, and now it’s officeworks!). Hopefully they’ll do some better colour scheme.
