The Star and Garter Hotel was originally a ten-roomed brick building and bar built in 1877 on an allotment Henry James Kavenagh had bought the previous year. Kavenagh had a livery stables and hotel in Moray Street, before transferring to the Family Hotel. This pub was a South Melbourne institution until its closure in 2000, and in 2003 is a block of residential apartments.
