14. Gatehouse

Here is iconic gatehouse of Melbourne General Cemetery. This building was reconstructed in the 1930s with materials from the previous entrance lodges built in the 1850s. After construction, this building was used as a family home and administrative offices. The last family left the building in 1997, and it is currently used as a workspace and office. While the building has undergone some technical changes, many elements remain the same, right down to the light switches and the original tiles in bathrooms and the kitchen.
