Peter has watched with keen interest the rebuilding of the Tallarook Mechanics Institute in the main street of the town. Sadly the 127 year old building burnt to the ground on Saturday/Sunday night of May 5/6, 2018. Insurance was honoured and architects were commissioned to design a replacement. It took a while to get going though. The locals made it very plain that the new building had to look much the same as the old one and so the result was an interesting mix of innovation and tradition. The pictures below show the magic of the old and tell the construction story of the new, up to pictures taken just days ago.
The location had a first Sunday of the month regular market.
