The building

The Victorian Cricket Association, then the state's main cricket body, built this corner building at Flinders and Exhibition Streets in 1924-25 to a design by H. Croxton Davey. It was a commercial building: the association kept the top floor for its own offices and let the other floors and the ground-level shops to tenants. It was converted to apartments in 1993, with shops kept at street level.
