Social History

1898 The Argus.

Mr. David Munro, who died last week, was a very old colonist. He came to Victoria with his parents 45 years ago, when a lad of 11. He worked his way up till he became the leading member of the firm of David Munro and Co., contractors and engineers, the business afterwards being taken over by a limited liability company. Among the contracts they undertook and successfully completed were the construction of Prince’s-bridge and the Queen’s-bridge. Although with others a heavy loser during the financial troubles of the last few years, Mr. Munro’s closing days were peaceful, he having outlived his business anxieties. He leaves a widow and several grown-up children.

Streetscape

Chetwynd Street was once predominantly a residential street with single and two storey Victorian terrace dwellings, two churches, a school and two hotels known as the Queens Arms and the Star of Hotham.

The Chetwynd streetscape today is characterised by a mix of multi-storey blocks of public flats, some modern commercial/industrial buildings, an ambulance depot, and a school.

In 2021, only fifty of the original one hundred and twenty-nine Victorian heritage dwellings once found on this street remain, compared to the 1895 Melbourne Metropolitan Board of Works map.
