AVENGERS (SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED) - INFINITY WALL

More strart (street art) on the western corner of Literature Lane and Little La Trobe Street in Melbourne, done in late April, 2018, when Avengers - Infinity War opened.

 

The Black Panther piece is still to the right of this one, on the same building.

 

Thanos is looking very purple here, and Captain America shield seems unfinished, or perhaps, more likely, just stylized to appear more 'background' than Thanos.

 

The strart is on the western wall of 70 La Trobe Street, which now houses a Korean BBQ restaurant. The building itself looks early to mid 20th Century, or perhaps even pre-dates that, and is in a section of the street that used to be largely small businesses catering, at one time, to the automobile trade. Small factories, warehouses, and the like.

 

Little Lonsdale Street itself was not part of the original Melbourne grid, unlike the other city spanning main lanes and 'Little' streets. Created sometime during the late 19th Century gold rush boom, it only runs east to west between Swanston and Elizabeth Streets for a single block. Literature Lane is a "U" shaped access alleyway that is longer than it is deep, rather like the handle on a cupboard, or drawer. It got its current name from a national reading festival in 2012, and was extensively reconstructed around 2015, including the building of a skyscraper overlapping its north western corner.
