Block Arcade
The magnificent Block Arcade is an icon of Melbourne.
Completed: 1893
Architect: David C Askew
Interesting facts: The name ‘Block Arcade’ evolved through the popular saying ‘doing the block,’ a tradition where men and women would circle the block prior to VFL games. The Hopetoun Tea Rooms has been operating since the very beginning and continues to today.
