While the Little Lonsdale St centre has been a wonderful home to us for over a decade, keen observers will have noticed that, over the years, the streetscape has changed completely. From being nestled between a little church and some old buildings like ours, we’re now surrounded by skyscrapers! 152 Little Lonsdale is the last building of it’s kind on the street, and market forces beyond El Patio’s control have determined that it’s time for that to change.
The new centre will be located in Druid’s House a heritage-listed landmark of Melbourne built in the 1920’s.
Druids House, began life as headquarters for the friendly society. Built in 1926 and styled in the ”Greek Revival” manner, it houses an original entry foyer with terrazzo and tiled floors, three-colour Buchan marble and ornate metalwork. The interior of the building has a high level of integrity and finish. The entry into Druid's House is by marble stairs and quiet mirror-walled lift.
We’re excited to make Druid's house a permanent new home for El Patio.
The new centre is currently getting a fresh, colourful makeover, and we can’t wait to show you the result next term!
All CBD classes will continue to be held at 2/152 Little Lonsdale St for the remainder of Term 3 (up to September 26, 2024).
The Northcote centre is unaffected by this change and will remain in its current location for many years to come.
Please let us know if you have any questions about the move. We’re excited to share this next stage of our journey with you!
