Caulfield North was once the location of many large Victorian mansions, most of which were demolished in the early twentieth century and the large estates that they were built upon were then subdivided. A notable survivor is Labassa, owned by the
National Trust. The mansion was originally built in 1862 and extended in 1873. In 1889 further extensions and lavish refurbishment commissioned by William Alexander Robertson created the present mansion, a heritage property designed in the French Renaissance style and noted for its opulent 19th-century interiors, which is of national significance. The house is sometimes used for filming of the
ABC's lady detective series ''
Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, and was one of the filming locations for the 2002 film Queen of the Damned''. Many streets in the suburb were named in the late 1850s after
Crimea War locations and people. For example;
Cardigan,
Canrobert,
Inkerman,
Alma,
Raglan, Redan, and
Balaclava. The Caulfield North Post Office was opened on 26 March 1915. ==Public transport==
