The home closed its doors on 31 January 1963. In 1965 the building was sold and it was later demolished and the site redeveloped.

He was employed till 31 March 1965 (year of the article) when he finished up after 32 years in the position. He continued to be employed for a year or so after the home closed, probably serving as caretaker till it was sold. (see Mark Howard paper in the Great Circle (Vol.42, No1).) The plaque photographed on page 25 is to be incorporated in the Seafarers park located next to the new Seafarers residential building and at the back of the Mission.3 pages (p21 to 26) of the Port Melbourne Quarterly issue July-September 1965 about the Melbourne Sailors Home located on Spencer Street.Inscription handwritten in black ink in capital letters by Nancy Oakley: Meetings of Melb.

Melbourne Tram MuseumPhotograph - Signalman at Collins and Swanton Streets, 1910s
... Photograph Signalman at Collins and Swanton Streets ...Photograph shows uniformed MTOC signalman standing under a canopy operating two large levers (which may be the reason the newspaper mistakenly described him as a switchman). He stands under a canopy supported by poles with a partial curtain at the rear along with his overcoat. The canopy was located on the footpath on the southeast corner of the intersection of Collins and Swanston Streets. This was the busiest cable tramway intersection in Melbourne and one of the busiest for pedestrian and vehicle traffic. The tram tracks crossed each other at right angles with no curved tracks to permit turns. The signalman's job was twofold: to directed which trams had right of way by use of mechanical signals and to depress the Collins Street cable so that the upward incline did not cause the cable to rise out of the slot onto the roadway. The depression gear was located under both Collins Street tracks adjacent to the Town Hall and was only released momentarily to allow a Collins Street tram to pass over it. This was a demanding job requiring constant vigilance: working with the policeman controlling the intersection, trams approaching from four directions, horse and motor traffic and pedestrians. The signalman's rules provided a specific order of steps each time the signals and depression gear were reset, which occurred many times per hour. He was also authorised to stop trams with the use of his whistle and a red hand lamp and to report gripmen who disobey his directions. Traffic lights were gradually introduced to Melbourne from 1928 after cable trams were replaced in Swanston Street and just before they were replaced in Collins Street. This is a photograph taken of a newsprint photograph from an unnamed newspaper. Yields information about signalman's work. Black and white photograph with note below photograph.
