Entertainment Room Size:L The former Asahi Elementary School

The former Asahi Elementary School building was converted to group lodging in the mid-1990s

remote bushland pressing in on all sides

part of a shift away from ingot casting that would transform the entire steelmaking process

the last surviving remnant of the brick-producing belt that once ran from Hawthorn to Mitcham

its walls shedding paint and plaster in layers down to bare substrate

Entertainment Room Size:L The former Asahi Elementary SchoolDust lies thick across the silent stage of the Queen Victoria Sanitorium's entertainment room, light falling through broken windows onto a space built for distraction from illness. The Philip Sydney Jones Hall (1921) served patients who spent years in open air chalets on Kings Tableland; this was where concerts, euchre competitions, and Anzac Day services were held. Part of the Queen Victoria Sanitorium series.
