Acland Street: The Grand Lady of St Kilda

This is a hardback title.

Acland Street is surely one of Melbourne’s most iconic and historically important streets. It encapsulates the social and cultural history of the city in a unique way, having been part of Melbourne’s entertainment scene for more than 150 years, as well as home to the wealthiest and poorest of its citizens. As well, the kaleidoscope of people who have lived, worked and played (and still do) in the street includes artists, musicians, criminals, sex workers, the famous and the infamous. It had been the home of the gay and lesbian community and the scene of much of the city’s social revolution.

This book is written by award-winning historian Dr Judith Buckrich.
