Jas A Munro: an entrepreneur of early Melbourne
About
Narrm Ngarrgu Library stands on a site rich with history — once home to Munro car importers, a pioneering force in Melbourne’s early motor industry. The original bluestone building at Elizabeth and Therry Streets still stands as a reminder of this legacy. Jas Munro, a visionary entrepreneur around the time of the Great War, built one of Melbourne’s largest garages here, shaping the city’s automotive landscape for over a century.Join us for a special talk by Ian Berg, who has meticulously researched the Munro archives for his book 'Jas A Munro: The Largest Garage in Melbourne'. Discover the fascinating story of Munro’s impact on motoring, manufacturing, and Melbourne’s urban development.
