The building
A former warehouse and store on the south side of Flinders Lane, at the corner of Market Street, in the precinct that grew up around Queens Wharf as the heart of 19th-century Melbourne's wholesale trade. E. E. Miller owned the site for some sixty years from the late 1880s. Tenants came and went — manufacturing chemists, the Boy Scouts' Association of Victoria, an electrical firm — until a 1998 refurbishment turned the building over to apartments above ground-floor retail.
