Originally, 117 St Georges Road, Fitzroy North was part of the site of St Luke’s Church, which was purchased by the Church on 27 November 1878 after they were given permission to sell the previous site on Alexandra Parade in 1877. (D C McColl, St Luke’s Church of England, N. Fitzroy, St. Marks Church of England, E Fitzroy, B Arch, University of Melbourne 1967, p.94) This site was used by the Church to build the original Vicarage for the church, but it was sold in 1947. The below images show how this was allocated. (D C McColl, St Luke’s Church of England, N. Fitzroy, St. Marks Church of England, E Fitzroy, B Arch, University of Melbourne 1967, p.104).
