St Kilda East recorded a population of 12,571 at the [[2021 Australian census|2021 census]].<ref name=census/> St Kilda East is one of the more diverse and densely populated suburbs of Melbourne. It has a prominent [[Hasidic Judaism|Hasidic Jewish]] community, descended from [[Poland|Polish]] and [[Russia]]n [[immigrant]]s. Quiet and residential, it is quite different from the adjacent suburb of [[St Kilda, Victoria|St Kilda]]. However, the area around Carlisle Street is very diverse with a strong arts, alternative and indie community. ==History== The St Kilda East area was part of the lands of the [[Boon wurrung]] tribe of [[Indigenous Australians]] before being first settled by [[Anglo|Anglo-British]] settlers in the 1850s. Smaller timber shacks were common during the early 1860s to 1870s, with larger houses on the bigger subdivisions. During the late 1870s, [[terrace house|terraced housing]] began around the [[Sandringham railway line|railway line]]. Alma Park was laid out and areas surrounding the park were set aside for religious purposes, resulting in a large number of convents and chapels along [[Chapel Street, Melbourne|Chapel Street]] and either side of [[Princes Highway|Dandenong Road]]. In the 1950s, speculative development resulted in the alteration of many of the suburb's streetscapes. Centred on Chapel Street and to the east of the railway line, flats became common in the area. Recent development of the suburbs, rising land values and excellent access to public transport has seen recent [[gentrification]] in the area. Modern infill medium density apartments are being built on many blocks, with the Carlisle Street area designated an activity centre under the [[Melbourne 2030]] planning scheme. ==Education institutions== The main schools in St Kilda East are the Edmund Rice Campus of [[St Mary's College, Melbourne (school)|St Mary’s College]], the Caulfield Campus of [[Caulfield Grammar School]], Malvern Community School, Ripponlea Primary School, the St Kilda East campus of [[Mount Scopus Memorial College]], Yeshivah College, Cheder Levi Yitchak, Bnos Chana, Beth Rivkah Ladies College and part of [[St Michael's Grammar School]]. [[Yeshivah Gedolah Zal|The Rabbinical College of Australia and New Zealand]] (Yeshivah Gedolah Zal), a tertiary institution for the training of [[Orthodox Judaism|Orthodox]] [[rabbis]] and religious functionaries in the [[Chabad-Lubavitch]] denomination, is located on Alexandra Street. Ripponlea Primary School (No. 4087) was opened on 3 July 1922 with 400 pupils in grades prep to eight.<ref>[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/page/7317877 Caulfield Council: Ripponlea State School, ''Brighton Southern Cross'', (Saturday, 12 June 1915), p.2]; [https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/75045642 Caulfield Council: Ripponlea State School: Further Delay in Building, ''Brighton Southern Cross'', (Saturday, 16 October June 1915), p.2.]</ref><ref>[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/1859158 Ripponlea State School: Opened by Mr. Watt, ''The Argus'', (Saturday, 2 December 1922), p.24.]</ref> John Edward Woodruff (1867-1944)<ref>[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/59704823 Toongabbie, ''The Traralgon Record'', (Friday, 25 August 1911), p.4.]</ref> was the school's first headmaster, and he served as such until his retirement in 1932.<ref>[https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/242790792 Personal: Mr. J.E.

Major [[List of Melbourne tram routes|tram routes]] operate on Carlisle Street/Balaclava Road, [[Chapel Street, Melbourne|Chapel Street]], [[Princes Highway|Dandenong Road]] and [[St Kilda Road]]. [[List of Melbourne bus routes|Buses]] operate along Orrong Road and Hotham Street. [[Balaclava railway station, Melbourne|Balaclava]] and [[Ripponlea railway station|Ripponlea]] railway stations, on the [[Sandringham railway line|Sandringham line]], also service the suburb. ==Landmarks== ===Residential architecture=== The suburb is dominated by 1960s flats. There are, however, some pockets of preserved heritage streetscapes. Godfrey Avenue has well-preserved rows of [[Edwardian period|Edwardian]] cottages on either side of the street and is protected by council heritage controls. Camden Street has several rows of [[Victorian era|Victorian]] semi-detached timber workers cottages. Some large Victorian buildings remain along Inkerman Street and Alma Road, but have been since subdivided into flats. The streets in between have a mix of housing from different periods. <gallery widths="200px" heights="200px"> Image:Clement_house.jpg|Clement House, Inkerman Street (built 1888).

'''Chabad House of Caulfield''' is a replica of the New York headquarters of the Chabad movement at [[770 Eastern Parkway]]. <gallery widths="200px" heights="200px"> Image:439 inkerman street east st kilda.jpg|439 Inkerman Street, the [[770 Eastern Parkway|"770"]] Synagogue </gallery> ====Anglican==== The bluestone '''All Saints Anglican Church''' on Chapel Street was built in 1861, and is reputed to have the largest seating capacity of any Anglican parish church in the Southern hemisphere, with a capacity of 1500 in the pews. The neighbouring '''Parish Hall''' was built as an extension to the church in 1909 and was restored in 2005 during a conversion into a boutique [[gym]]nasium. <gallery widths="200px" heights="200px"> Image:All saints anglican church east st kilda.jpg|All Saints Anglican Church Image:All saints parish hall east st kilda.jpg|All Saints Parish Hall </gallery> Another Anglican Parish Church is '''[[St James the Great, St Kilda East|St James the Great]]''', established in 1914 and located at 435 Inkerman Street. St James was founded in close association with the former Church of England '''[[St John's Theological College, Melbourne|St John's Theological College]]''', which was located in nearby Alma Road,<ref name="portphillip.vic.gov.au"/> on the lot now bisected by Wilgah Street. The Diocese closed the seminary in 1919 amid some controversy directed towards the then perceived Anglo-Catholicity of the seminary (which was at odds with the prevailing sentiment of the diocese at the time). The land was sold and subdivided. <gallery widths="200px" heights="200px"> Image:St James the Great St Kilda East Street Frontage.jpg|St James the Great Anglican Church </gallery> ====Roman Catholic==== The '''St Mary's Catholic Church''' (208-214 Dandenong Road), designed by [[William Wardell]] and built in 1858, was one of the earliest bluestone churches. The '''East St Kilda Uniting Church''', on the corner of Hotham and Inkerman Streets, was built in 1887, to the design of architect Hillson Beasley. Originally a church of the [[Congregational Union of Australia]] prior to the formation of the Uniting Church, it was sold by the Uniting Church to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Melbourne in 2011 for the establishment of an Eastern Orthodox use church, according to the provisions of an Ordinariate. <gallery widths="200px" heights="200px"> Image:Uniting church st kilda east.jpg|Former East St Kilda Congregational Church (now Byzantine Russian Catholic use) Image:St marys catholic church st kilda east.jpg|St Mary's Roman Catholic Church </gallery> ====Uniting Church==== The '''St George's Uniting Church''', on Chapel Street, was built in 1877, to the design of [[Albert Purchas]] and is listed on the [[Victorian Heritage Register]].

The park has recreational facilities, including a heritage rotunda,<ref>{{cite AHD|9820|Alma Park West Rotunda, Alma Rd, St Kilda East, VIC, Australia |accessdate=13 December 2009}}</ref> a [[cricket]] and [[football (soccer)]] oval and bike paths, as well as large stands of [[elm]] trees, [[Moreton Bay Fig]]s and native vegetation areas. <gallery widths="200px" heights="200px"> Image:Rotunda_alma_park.jpg|Hexagonal rotunda in Alma Park, probably built between 1910 and 1915 </gallery> ====St Kilda General Cemetery====<!-- [[St Kilda General Cemetery]] and [[St Kilda Cemetery]] link to here --> '''[[St Kilda Cemetery]]''' covers a large block bordered by Dandenong Road, Hotham Street, Alma Road and Alexandra Street. It is bounded by a historic wall and contains many Victorian era graves. The cemetery is the resting place of [[Alfred Deakin]], the second [[Prime Minister of Australia]], and [[Albert Jacka]] VC, MC, barrister and Mayor of St Kilda (1930). ===East St Kilda Heritage
