There is much still to research on this site. New posts will be started for the new buildings that are being developed on the site and this post will be kept for the history.
One of the challenges for the Gasworks site was that it contained the likely only remaining portable building of J H Porter. The 1853 J H Porter Prefabricated Iron Store was located in the Yarra Council depot in North Fitzroy (which forms part of the Gasworks site). The store is one of the few remaining portable buildings in Melbourne, and the only known standing structure J H Porter building in the world. (Fitzroy History Society Newsletter, December 2018).
