Majorca Building

El Majorca Building es un edificio en Melbourne (Australia). Es de estilo neorrománico,​ tiene ocho pisos de altura y fue construido entre 1928 y 1930. Ubicado en 258-260 Flinders Lane, fue diseñado por Harry Norris, uno de los arquitectos más prolíficos de la ciudad durante las décadas de 1920 y 1930. Los diseños de Norris incorporaron estilos arquitectónicos australianos y estadounidenses emergentes y el edificio Mallorca ha sido descrito como su mejor trabajo que incorpora loza.​ Historia El Majorca Building se construyó en un sitio al final de la intersección de Flinders Lane y Degraves Street. Flinders Lane estaba en el corazón del comercio de trapos en Melbourne y actuó como un faro para el área. Durante la década de 1920, el valor de las propiedades aumentó a medida que las plantas bajas se dedicaban cada vez más a tiendas de sastrería/ropa y los pisos superiores a comerciantes de productos textiles.​ Se diseñó originalmente como espacio de oficinas.​ Diseño El arquitecto Harry Norris incorporó muchos estilos estadounidenses en su trabajo. Se inspiró en el entonces popular estilo neocolonial español después de sus visitas a Estados Unidos. El edificio está repleto de elementos españoles/moriscos, incluidos los azulejos de loza azul; ornamento foliado (en forma de hoja) y cordelado, pintado en oro y un vestíbulo de terrazo e incrustaciones de piedra. Una entrada de la base de datos de Heritage Victoria dice: "La influencia morisca en su fachada de terracota la ubica firmemente dentro de la tradición de arquitectura exótica de Melbourne a fines de la década de 1920".​ El Majorca Building es una progresión natural del otro edificio célebre de Norris en este estilo, Kellow Houses (antiguas salas de exhibición Kellow Falkiner) en St Kilda, South Yarra, una sala de exhibición de automóviles completada en 1928.​​ Uso actual Una tienda minorista está ubicada en la planta baja. El resto del edificio son apartamentos residenciales de propiedad privada. Galería Véase también Alkira House Primeros rascacielos Referencias

Melbourne Hebrew Congregation

The Melbourne Hebrew Congregation (Hebrew: ק"ק שארית ישראל), or Toorak Shule, is the oldest Jewish congregation in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Formed in 1841, the congregation was originally located on Bourke Street before moving in 1930 to Toorak Road, South Yarra. History The first Jews in Melbourne arrived around the time of the city's founding in 1835. Jewish High Holiday services were first held in 1839, and in 1841 the Melbourne Hebrew Congregation was formed. The congregation's first synagogue building, located at 472 Bourke Street, was erected in 1847, with a seating capacity of 100. Reverend Moses Rintel arrived to serve as the congregation's rabbi. After a number of disputes, however, Rev Rintel left the congregation in 1857 and formed the East Melbourne Hebrew Congregation. He was replaced by Rev EM Myers, who was followed by Rev WI Marks and Rev AF Ornstein. The 1850s saw the arrival of some 300 Jewish families from London and the Province of Posen, Prussia to Melbourne, prompting the construction of a new larger synagogue on the Bourke Street site. Benefactor David Benjamin laid the foundation stone of the 650-seat building in March, 1855. The synagogue was re-consecrated in 1877, at which time Rabbi Dattner Jacobson was appointed rabbi. In 1883 he was succeeded by Rabbi Joseph Abrahams, who went on to serve the congregation for some forty years. Notable members during this period included Sir Benjamin Benjamin, the Hon Edward Cohen, and Ephraim Zox. In 1891 the congregation celebrated the marriage of John and Hannah Victoria Monash. Raphael Benjamin was assistant rabbi and reader of the congregation from 1874 to 1882. In 1923 Rabbi Abrahams was succeeded by Rabbi Israel Brodie, who later became chief rabbi of the British Commonwealth. In 1930 the congregation moved to Toorak Road, South Yarra, to the newly completed classical style 1300-seat synagogue, designed by Nahum Barnet. In October 1932 the congregation celebrated the Bar Mitzvah of Zelman Cowen, who later became Governor-General of Australia. In April 1937 Rabbi Brodie returned to England, and in August 1938 Rabbi Harry Freedman succeeded him. Following World War II the synagogue had a full membership for the first time in its history. In December 1947 Rabbi Hugo Stransky was appointed rabbi. In February the following year the congregation conducted the funeral service of Sir Isaac Isaacs, the first Australian-born Governor-General. Rabbi Izaak Rapaport was appointed rabbi in September, 1952. The congregation today enjoys a large and diverse membership with its chief minister, Rabbi Shlomo Nathanson.

Chemistry Building, University of Melbourne

The Chemistry Building is a university teaching facility used by the University's School of Chemistry, located at Masson Road, The University of Melbourne, Parkville Campus, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The building was designed by Percy Edgar Everett, who at the time was employed by the Victorian Public Works Department. It was built in 1938 at a time of major expansion at the University through the 1920s and 1930s. The building is best described as a modernist, inter-war, gothic architecture, and due to this it has been deemed to be of state historical and architectural significance on the National Trust register. Description The Chemistry Building is a distinctive modern interpretation of a Collegiate Gothic style. Its most notable features, which are stylistic of the inter-war period, are the cream brickwork, bold massing and highly detailed tower decoration. In recent years the Chemistry Building had interior redevelopments to bring the outdated technology and amenities up to the standard required for modern chemistry research. Key influence and design approach During the 1930s when the building was constructed, Melbourne University placed a lot of importance on the opinions of experts such as chemists. For this reason, Ernst Johannes Hartung, a professor of chemistry at the time, designed most of the interior of the building to suit the specific requirements of chemistry research. The Masson Theatre in the chemistry school has a heritage listing despite losing its impressive two-storey high rolling blackboards and theatre-wide front rostrum in the late 1980s. It has undergone a recent renovation addressing safety concerns but preserving the remaining character.

Moreland railway station

Moreland station is a railway station operated by Metro Trains Melbourne on the Upfield line, part of the Melbourne rail network. It serves the northern suburb of Coburg in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Moreland station is an elevated unstaffed station, featuring two side platforms. It opened on 9 September 1884, with the current station provided in December 2020. History Moreland station opened when the railway line from North Melbourne was extended to Coburg. The name Moreland has been associated with the local area since 1839 when land speculator Farquhar McCrae acquired 638 acres of land between the Moonee Ponds Creek and Sydney Road. McCrae named this land Moreland after the Jamaican slave plantation that was run by his father and grandfather. The landholdings were increased in 1841 to encompass a total of 908 acres, which was subdivided in 1858 including the establishment of Moreland Road. On 2 May 1975, the former ground-level station was damaged by fire. In 1983, a number of sidings at the station were dismantled. In 1986, manually controlled boom barriers replaced interlocked gates at the former Moreland Road level crossing, which was at the up end of the station. In August 1988, former sidings "A", "B" and "C" and associated point work were abolished. Also abolished were the up and down end crossovers, and a number of disc signals. Under the Level Crossing Removal Project, the Moreland Road and Reynard Street level crossings were removed by grade separation and Moreland Station was rebuilt at elevation. The level crossings and ground level station closed on 27 July 2020; the elevated line opened to trains on 2 November 2020, and the rebuilt station opened to passengers on 14 December 2020. The Platform 1 heritage building of the former ground level station was restored during these works. Platforms and services Moreland has two side platforms. It is served by Upfield line trains.
