The St Kilda Pier Kiosk is back!
An accurate reconstruction of the fire-destroyed heritage building has been reopened and is welcoming new friends and old to the St Kilda Pier once again.
Original kiosk plans from 1903, historic photos and surviving iron lacework from the arson-destroyed kiosk were used as guides to faithfully reproduce the look of the original historic and much loved structure. The original kiosk was devastated by fire on 11 September 2003.
Additions include a café out back and an observation deck up top. Along the length of the pier interactive panels tell the pier's history. The kiosk complex now sits on a concrete slab supported by 29 new timber pylons, to ensure minimum wear and movement. Here's to another 99 plus years.
Opening hours: Kiosk 8am until dark daily. Restaurant 12 noon until 11pm
Phone: 9525 5545 or visit the website: www.stkildapierkiosk.com.au
Visit the Park's Victoria website for more information about the kiosk reconstruction.
