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:
“At sundown, leaving the river road awhile for shortness, we went by way of Enfield, where we stopped for the night. This, like most of the localities bearing names on this road, was a place to name which, in the midst of the unnamed and unincorporated wilderness, was to make a distinction without a difference, it seemed to me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
