11. Terminus Hotel

This building was erected for brickmaker and landowner Robert Dehnert in 1867. Called the Brickmaker’s Arms until 1923, its new name would have been a reference to the cable tram route which terminated just before the river. (The cable tram shed was on the other side of Victoria Street). In the 1930s when the Moderne craze swept through Melbourne, the hotel was remodelled in distinctive style.The hotel was closed in 2012 for renovation and reopened in 2017. The photo below was taken in September 2018.
