It was recently extended  and spruced up to look pretty smart. And of course the fires services had to be brought up to current standards.

 

 

 

 

 

The simple, modernised apartments on the floor above street level are provided with an original timber fire escape – not seen in new builds but permitted here only with dispensation and additional safe-guards.

The fully up-to-date alarm panel is located near the street, in a revitalised (that is, painted black – it\’s a Melbourne thing!) fire stair which is available to the some of the ground floor and first floor tenants.
