Union Place

Located between La Trobe Street and Little Lonsdale Street, Union Place extended east from Exhibition Street. Businesses that operated in this lane included the Olive Branch Inn in 1860, the La Trobe Hotel in 1875 and the Exhibition Hotel in 1901. Within the working class and often considered unsavoury district of 'Little Lon', Union Place was removed in the second half of the twentieth century for the Telstra Exhibition Exchange building (288-326 Exhibition Street).
