Scott’s Hotel, 444 Collins Street. C.1928
Built in 1860, and substantially remodeled between 1910 and 1914, Scott’s Hotel held a reputation for supplying some of Melbourne’s finest gourmet food and wine. With its private apartments, Dame Nellie Melba and English cricket legend W.G.Grace were among many notable people who stayed at the Scott. It was sold to the Royal Insurance Co in 1961 and demolished in 1975 to make way for another series of drab office buildings.
