The Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB) said at least 50 firefighters tackled the fire at the building, which houses the Essendon Historical Society Museum, on Mount Alexander Road at Moonee Ponds about 8:30am.

The top floor of the two-storey former court house was fully ablaze, but crews brought the fire under control within an hour.
