A photograph from 1914 of the building on the south east corner of Collins and Russell Streets, built in 1886 as residences and professional suites for Dr. J. G. Beaney, to a design by William Salway. At the time of the photo, the building was being used as a private hospital.
In 1917 the building was purchased by the Alexandra Club, a private womens-only club, where they operated from until moving to new premises in 1981.
The building is now a Melbourne showroom for Louis Vuitton.
