    Event description

    Join Lovell Chen historian and heritage landscape specialists to engage with places that mark twentieth century change in this predominantly nineteenth century suburb. Drawing on work undertaken for the North Melbourne Heritage Review for the City of Melbourne, the tour will consider models for social housing, landscape and urban change, the influence of post-war migration and the expression of religion.

    This tour will take attendees away from the commercial centre of North Melbourne to its suburban heart, providing an opportunity for discovery of a diverse range of places. Attendees will be introduced to alternative approaches to streetscapes, housing developments and churches established during a period characterised by slum clearance and demographic changes in the inner suburb.

    Brought to you with the generous support of our friends and partners, our Summer Fun(draisers) offer new and special opportunities as well as returning crowd favourites. These intimate, limited capacity talks + tours will take you up close and behind-the-scenes with design experts, all the while making a valued contribution to Open House Melbourne.
