Apartments
Jolimont, Palmer Street 009
A symmetrical three storey apartment block finished in rendered brick. The building presents as two projecting wings with the central recessed entry rising through the full height of the building to break the terracotta tiled roof at the eaves line. Balconies extend half way across each level. Several of these have now been built in.
The Hermitage, a block of twelve flats, was built in 1937 by the General Construction Co Ltd to the design of O H Jorgensen for husband and wife, Nicholas and Margot O’Donohue. The Hermitage was so named in memory of the house previously on the site, which was a small timber dwelling annexed to Governor Charles La Trobe’s cottage next door, and used by him as guest quarters.
