Description
A link to an engraving taken from The Illustrated Australian News depicting the gothic architectural design of the 'Deaf and Dumb Asylum'. The building, now the Victorian College for the Deaf, is on St Kilda Road in the Melbourne suburb of Prahran. The blue-stone building in gothic-revival style opened in 1866. Its most striking feature is the central tower with arched door way, spire and turrets. The building also has many lancet windows common in gothic architecture.
