Glenhope at 466 Punt Road is the newest acquisition of Melbourne Girls Grammar and the future home of the Old Grammarians Society. Glenhope is an historical building in the style of some of our heritage buildings on Anderson Street Hill. With a colourful past dating from 1887, former owners include the Paxton family, the Warsaw Jewish Committee, the Australian Jewish Welfare and Relief Agency, and more recently, the Millswyn Clinic.
This building steeped in history has provided the key to unlocking the future of girls’ education by providing additional teaching and learning spaces on the Merton Hall campus.
Following successful developments at all levels of the School, we now turn our sights to the redevelopment of Glenhope in the style of some of our heritage buildings on the famed Anderson Street hill.
The interior has already been refurbished, providing venues for meetings and functions for our Old Grammarians. However, Glenhope is now in desperate need of a facelift so we can present ourselves to the public in a manner befitting Melbourne Girls Grammar and enable it to become a defining landmark on the Punt Road hill.
This next stage will include revealing the original tuck-pointed façade and creating a gated property resplendent with verdant gardens and ample carparking for our MGGS and OGS community and their guests.
