St Kilda has as many faces as a hall of mirrors. There are still a few great houses, relics of the time when it was the best address in Melbourne, and many reminders of its second period, when it was the entertainment centre of Victoria. This book opens towards the end of this period. We see the conflicting images of the 1930s, the extravaganzas of the Efftee film studios and the misery of the depression; we see the tumultuous war years, when St Kilda was the centre for the entertainment of American troops on R&R leave, and the post-war years when the city was the first home for many newly-arrived refugees from the refugee camps of Europe, giving St Kilda a cosmopolitan tone which it has never lost. The next image in the mirror is a less happy one, when the city’s name became synonymous with crime, drugs and prostitution, and mindless redevelopment almost destroyed the remaining relics of its great past. However, just enough remained to inspire the architects of its latest period, which was just starting when this book ends: a St Kilda fostering its long connection with the arts and re-establishing itself as a good place to live.
