350 St Kilda Road, currently known as St. James Apartments, is a 120 m high apartment building on St Kilda Road in Melbourne, Australia. It consists of 30 floors including three basement levels.
It was originally built in 1974 for the Department of Defence. The low rise building next door with 9 floors (including 3 basement levels) was also part of the original complex. Around 1,500 staff worked in the buildings.
The tower was the tallest building outside the CBD of Melbourne when constructed, and had unsurpassed views in all directions.
The residential conversion was completed in 1998.
Famous quotes containing the word road:
“Emancipation should make it possible for woman to be human in the truest sense. Everything within her that craves assertion and activity should reach its fullest expression; all artificial barriers should be broken, and the road towards greater freedom cleared of every trace of centuries of submission and slavery.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
