Subsequent Building Alterations
All the Victorian era homes that were originally built on the southern side of Molesworth Street, North Melbourne were demolished sometime after 1943 and a Public Housing Estate of 112 dwellings were established. In 2020 that housing estate was demolished and is expected to be redeveloped by the Department of Public Housing.
