The Geelong Rest located at 3 Moorabool Street was created in 1895. The building depicted in the photograph ( taken from the Western Beach Road) is known as the King Edward VII Sailors' Rest building; it was designed by architect Percy Everett and replaced the older building in 1912. In 1901, it became the Geelong branch of the Mission to Seamen. The building is still standing on the waterfront in Geelong and has a commercial use.Medium b & w photograph depicting the front facade of the Sailors' Rest in Geelong.geelong, sailors' rest, seafarer, king edward vii sailors' rest building, 1912, percy everett, kombi
