The Cardinal Knox Centre is a noted Modernist church administration centre located adjacent to St Patrick's Cathedral, at 383 Albert Street, East Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It was commissioned by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne in 1968,[1] and the architects were Yuncken Freeman, lead architect, Roy Simpson. It replaced the 1855 bluestone Saint Patrick’s College, controversially demolished in 1971, leaving a single bluestone tower as a preserved fragment.[2][3]
