Melbourne Buildings

The “Temple of the Winds” rotunda in Fitzroy Gardens is a neo-classical structure consisting of a domed roof over ten ionic columns and bluestone footings. It is one of the oldest structures in the gardens, erected in 1873 at a cost of £275 by Thomas Julian and Co.¹

While the structure itself is not listed individually, it is part of the heritage listed Fitzroy Gardens precinct (VHR H1834) and is also listed by the National Trust. The historic gardens began as Fitzroy Square in 1848.²
