Melbourne history talk: Jas A Munro, an entrepreneur of early Melbourne
City of Melbourne Libraries
The original blue-stone building at Elizabeth and Therry Streets still stands as a reminder of this legacy. Jas Munro, a visionary entrepreneur around the time of World War One, built one of Melbourne’s largest garages here, shaping the city’s automotive landscape for over a century.
Join us for a special talk by Ian Berg, who has meticulously researched the Munro archives for his book Jas A Munro: The Largest Garage in Melbourne. Discover the fascinating story of Munro’s impact on motoring, manufacturing, and Melbourne’s urban development.
Bookings open Sunday 13 April.
