167 Franklin Street

built in the Neo-Greco style in 1928 as the head office of A.G Healing, manufacturers of bicycles, radios, TV sets and washing machines.

A fascinating un-named laneway, in a U shape behind a Victorian Era warehouse conversion on Franklin Street. A small Victorian era warehouse is hidden in the lane, sometimes host to Art events. The rounded corners would have provided easy turning round the back for horse carriages. A barely human sized exit back to Franklin st is like exiting a hidden cave. One of Melbourne’s best ‘secret’ laneways.

There’s a great documentary about the Dark Horse Experiment gallery on ABC i-view at the moment.
