    Culwalla Chambers (1912) was hailed as Sydney's first 'skyscraper', At the SW corner of King and Castlereagh Streets. Street level is the Louis Vuitton store now. More info - www.sydneyarchitecture.com/cbd/cbd4-014.htm

    [https://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Ooops! Typo five years ago - should be ''Culwulla" - my bad!
  • covid convict said:
    I suspect that the building with the scaffolding seen towards the other end of King St on the left is Temple Court, which occupied the NW corner of Elizabeth/King Sts...it was evidently a rebuild of the previous building. It appears to have been completed in early 1913...looks like it might be being painted. trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/228696211 - the Sun, 13th January, 1913...this pic shows the exterior of Temple Court nearing completion... trove.nla.gov.au/work/190120410 - this NLA Fairfax pic appears to have been taken in ca. October 1912...looking down from Culwulla Chambers...it shows Temple Court (bottom of frame) at an earlier stage of construction... I'm not sure whether the Daily Telegraph Building (SE cnr King/Castlereagh Sts) would be visible from this location...or whether it would be hidden behind Culwulla Chambers...my guess is this pic might have been taken in early 1913, before work on the Daily Telegraph Building commenced...Per various digitised newspaper hits, the excavation of the foundations for the Daily Telegraph Building commenced in ca. August 1913, and the and the external building work was completed by about September-October 1915...

    How can that be looking East? Where's Hyde Park?
  • State Library of New South Wales said:
    The building on the right still stands on the corner of King Street and the Pitt Street Mall. Looking up the hill to the east is the spire of St James Church. The steam tram was heading up the hill to turn right into Queens Square on its way to Rose Bay. "The fatal card" is on the marquee of the Theatre Royal left.
  • Ian Sanderson said:
    Cate Cahill The northern end of Hyde park is at Queens Square, which is at the east end of King St. You would not see the park from King St.
  • Curious Haircut said:
    Yeah, you can see St James and then, beyond that, the Hyde Park Barracks
  • uminarampart said:
    that photo isnt from 1892. St james spire had a broach added in 1894-95, which is evident in that photo. maybe late 1890s?
