"The Casselden Place Skyscraper, built in 1992, is 166 metres tall and towers over Casselden Place, once the site of the many and varied activities of 'Little Lon' that contributed to its infamy. Casselden Place testifies to transformative influences that have made many Melbourne lanes unrecognisable over the last generation." p. 185.
