Scots Church Hall: 99-101 Russell Street, Melbourne (demolished 2012)
Scots Church Hall: 99-101 Russell Street, Melbourne. Looking west from Russell Street median.

The three storey hall was built neighbouring Scots Church in the interwar commercial palazzo style in rendered reinforced concrete. It features a prominent piano nobile base with arched windows and keystones. It is currently destined for demolition, so I thought I’d make an effort to document it before the swing of the wrecking ball so to speak.
