An early Sunday morning view of the outdoor dining area of the enchanting Trunk restaurant in Melbourne.
The building was originally built in 1859 as a synagogue.
It then became a state school until 1892 and then became a child care facility for this slum and poor area of Melbourne.
Now that fabric has disappeared, and the premises has been operating as a restaurant since 1980.
And the food is brilliant!
meandering space
many odd shapes and profiles
many old secrets
what changes it has come through
ReplyDeleteAn interesting history.
ReplyDeleteI really like those umbrellas. And are those a huge pile of flowerpots in that cage to the left?
ReplyDeleteNice to eat good food at a historical place!
