Former Working Men's College The Working Men's College, which later became the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology was founded by Francis Ormond. It was built in two stages: the Bowen Street frontage was constructed in 1883/87 to a design by Nahum Barnett and Terry & Oakden, the LaTrobe Street frontage and tower were constructed in 1891 to a design by Oakden, Addison and Kemp.
