278-280 Napier St, Fitzroy

I have included 278 and 280 Napier Street here, as 278 seems to have been removed sometime between 1875 and now to create the dirt part of the school image below and the bin depot. 280 Napier still stands.

Image held by Fitzroy Library. Unknown photographer in June 1975. Napier Street pedestrian crossing, Fitzroy. Intended for the George Street Primary school. A lollipop man helps a young boy cross the road to school.

  1. There’s also an older photo of 280-284 Napier Street – Phoenix Chemical Company – with the State Library, showing horse and cart with family members of the original owners.
