Former Repatriation Outpatient Building - Victoria Barracks
310 St Kilda Road and Cnr Coventry Street and St Kilda Road SOUTHBANK, MELBOURNE CITY
Statement of Significance
Hallendal designed many buildings and several fine drill halls in a long and distinguished career with the Commonwealth Department of Works. Additions in the mid-1940 s were designed by another prominent architect, D B Windebank.
Architecturally, the clinic is typical of 1930s Commonwealth government architecture. The use of wrought iron grilles and gates is notable, as is the building's condition and integrity.
Historically, the Outpatients Repatriation Clinic is significant for its association with an important phase of building activity prior to the Second World War which included various barracks and several notable drill halls.
