Statement of Significance

Built for G W Hall, in 1900-01, to the design of William Salway, this building is notable for the individual character of its free Romanesque revival upperfacade and its contribution to a similarly inspired streetscape. One of the earliest of Melbourne's restaurants with a cosmopolitan flavour, in this case essentially Italian, the Society remains well built into Melbourne's social scene.
