Below is an overlay map of the Elgar Road site including available information of original buildings and an outline of the Deakin University site as it currently stands.
The earlier buildings to the northern half of the site, including the original house (pre-1929), school (1938), hall/gymnasium (1956) have been demolished. In their place, the Deakin Business School (LB) and the adjoining building to the north (LA) has been constructed.
