Starts 12/31/1909ESTIMATED 63% CONFIDENCEWikipedia^[2] dates the current building's completion to 1909 - "essentially finished by mid-1909" - with the Flinders Street verandah and the concourse roof finished only after the official opening in 1910. No source gives an exact day, so the date sits on the last day of 1909.

Starts 05/26/1975CONFIRMED 75% CONFIDENCEWikipedia^[1] states the day: "The Flower Drum was established by Gilbert Lau and opened on 26 May 1975", and its infobox carries the same date.

Gilbert Lau opened Flower Drum on 26 May 1975 in Melbourne's Chinatown and spent the following decades making the case that Cantonese cooking belonged at the top of Australian fine dining rather than in a separate category of it. It has been a fixture of the city's restaurant lists ever since, on Market Lane.
