350 St Kilda Road, currently known as St. James Apartments, is a 120 m high apartment building on St Kilda Road in Melbourne, Australia. It consists of 30 floors including three basement levels.
It was originally built in 1974 for the Department of Defence. The low rise building next door with 9 floors (including 3 basement levels) was also part of the original complex. Around 1,500 staff worked in the buildings.
The tower was the tallest building outside the CBD of Melbourne when constructed, and had unsurpassed views in all directions.
The residential conversion was completed in 1998.
Famous quotes containing the word road:
“If any ambitious man have a fancy to revolutionize, at one effort, the universal world of human thought, human opinion, and human sentiment, the opportunity is his own—the road to immortal renown lies straight, open, and unencumbered before him. All that he has to do is to write and publish a very little book. Its title should be simple—a few plain words—”My Heart Laid Bare.” But—this little book must be true to its title.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
