trove.nla.gov.au/work/247902206 - Mosman Library has a coloured postcard version...per Mosman Library, the house with the tower was at 2 Raglan St (located at the end of Curraghbeena Point)...it was evidently demolished in 1964...

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Good work! I think you are right with the Goldsbrough Darling Harbour ID. See also this 1884 illustration - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/64035872 , which shows railway in front - a bit of a hint. The old warehouse was at the corner of Fig and Pyrmont Streets, Ultimo. I think it was rebuilt after a fire and extended to Allen Street, as it now is.
According to the 1895 interactive map, the building on the left is the Meat Market !. The photographer was at the junction of Allen and Pyrmont Streets, looking SE - www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview/?pi=nla.map-rm3443-sd&rgn=...

" ... Sydney's first wool store was the Richard Goldsbrough warehouse built on the corner of Pyrmont and Fig streets in 1883. From World War II until the 1960s, wool stores on the peninsula employed thousands of men. With lanolin oil soaked into thousands of feet of wood, fires were a constant hazard. In 1935 the Goldsbrough and Mort store went up in a blaze lasting two weeks, filling the suburb with the smell of burning wool and grease. ..."

Article about the 1935 fire which destroyed the warehouse. A photo shows the warehouse as above with three extra floors built on top - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/83657628
