Genuine Piece Of Melbourne's Architectural History

Built in 1887 and commissioned for prominent Melbourne hotelier William C. Wilson (Scott's Hotel), the mansion was then home to some of Melbourne's most elite, including Victorian Railways Chief Commissioner Thomas Tait, aristocrat Sir Rupert Clarke and interiors entrepreneur Cyril Steele, giving the residence a heritage of prestige that spans more than a century.

Renamed Grosvenor around 1939 and briefly run as a reception venue, it was acquired by the Australian Army in 1942 for £25,000 and remained under military use for more than fifty years.

Today, its restored façade fronts a boutique collection of just six luxury apartments, making it one of the rarest homes available to purchase in Melbourne.
