Alexandra Avenue Drill Hall - Veterans Description for Public
A timber drill hall was located on Alexandra Avenue, Melbourne.Between 1884-1901, militia orderly rooms were built by the Victorian Public Works Department and were universally of timber and of similar design. The seminal examples of this era are Ballarat, Bendigo, Castlemaine, Portland and St Kilda which are all to the design of the PWD architect Samuel Bindley. The Alexandra Avenue Drill Hall has since been demolished. Of the twenty-eight examples of this type built, only eight remain.
