Historical information
Both photographers were concerned about heritage places soon to be demolished or altered. Printing of the postcards was paid for by Port Melbourne Council.
Although Eastern Kiosk at Station Pier, Port Melbourne was a tiny shop, it was the first in Melbourne to sell Coca Cola at the request of visiting U.S. soldiers during WW2. At the rear a waiting room served passengers boarding the paddle steamers.
