A description of the premises from an official valuation a few years later reads "a three storey brick building consisting of a ground floor of the two shops 14' X 15' with a central passage way with stairs. First floor flat 30' x 55' divided into four rooms. Second floor flat of three rooms. One shop vacant. Rest of building occupied by College and Hospital. Valued at 2,300 pounds."
(.6) The 'new' Melbourne Dental Hospital and The Australian College of Dentistry, Spring Street, 1907. Two photographic copies of a sketch of the hospital and college building at Spring Street. The College owned the building and let certain accommodation to the Hospital for its clinical activities. During the early years the shops were let to local traders and later to a dental supply house, DeTrey Brothers, which was a most useful source of income.
