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...

A confusing history to this building is explained on the Powerhouse daily photo blog:
www.powerhousemuseum.com/imageservices/?p=497

And a short history of the Capitol Theatre:
www.capitoltheatre.com.au/explore_timeline.htm

The building in the photo was dismantled and rebuilt several metres higher in 1915. Several rebuilds since, but still recognizable in the Google street view:

I am guessing the Tooths and Berger ads are the ones mentioned in the Persistent URL blurb (see notes).

Berger are still using the same slogan "Keep on keeping on" ninety years later, which must be something of a record?

for some reason i cant put a note on the photo.
to the left is Astor Units (1923). tallest apartments in Australia for many years.
just behind it is BMA House which was built 1930.
