The Georgion-style bluestone house dates from 1854 and was the home of John and Laurie O'Brien from 1957. John Lockyer O’Brien (1905-1965) was an historian at the University. His collection of about 4,000 photographs was taken in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Many of them capture the architecture and streetscapes of inner-city Melbourne when the area was in transition between its then 19th century topography and working-class status prior to large-scale demolitions to made way for the construction of the Housing Commission high-rise blocks, and middle-class migration back to the inner-city and subsequent renovation and gentrification of its housing. He was also interested in the early architecture of country Victoria and photographed 19th century homesteads, hotels, churches, banks, railway stations, as well as humbler buildings.Access StatusOpen for public accessRequest TypeRequest unitUnitBWP Album 0157Conditions of Use and ReproductionThis image is provided for research purposes and must not be reproduced without prior permission of University of Melbourne Archives.
