Melbourne Terrace is a set of 60 apartments at the corner of Franklin and Queen Street, Melbourne. The apartment complex, designed by architect Nonda Katsalidis, comprises four self-contained buildings, Equus, Mondo, Roma and Fortuna. This division creates a low population for each, ensuring moderate demands upon the building services and a high degree of privacy. At the entrance of each building is a signature sculpture by Peter Corlett.The building is listed as one of the Top 20 buildings in Australia of the 20th century by Architecture Australia in the December 1999 edition. The building is also featured in Australian Architecture Now.

Melbourne Welsh Church
Melbourne Welsh Church

Melbourne Welsh Church is a church in Melbourne, established in 1857. It is on La Trobe Street, and the building is registered on the Victorian Heritage Register.The first Welsh-language church service was held on 15 December 1852, and a chapel was first built on the land in La Trobe Street, opening in 1857. The site was donated by the crown, for the construction of a Welsh Calvinist Methodist Church. It was rebuilt in the gothic revival style by architects Crouch and Wilson, opening in 1871. Initially all services were in Welsh, but English-language services were later introduced. Services are still held in Welsh twice a month, as well as in English, and the church holds a Gymanfa Ganu, a singing festival with hymns in both Welsh and English, at least twice a year. The church states that "It is the only Welsh Church in the Pacific Basin that has a minister who conducts services in the Welsh language."The sign outside the church carries changing inspirational messages, which have been noted in social media. The Bored Panda website illustrated 30 messages and reported that the most popular of these was: "At the end of the day, I'd rather be excluded for who I include than be included for who I exclude".Pioneering female doctor Constance Stone was married to Reverend David Egryn Jones, minister of the Welsh Church, and through him the church's hall, St David's Hall, was used from 1896 as an out-patient dispensary, the first Victoria Hospital, precursor of the Queen Victoria Hospital. In 2016 a memorial plaque was unveiled in the church to commemorate the Australian women doctors who served in the first world war.
