  A bit of a Con, really! Before (or during?) the conversion from stables - opened 06/03/1916 - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sydney_Conservatorium_of_Music

• Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection said:

  beachcomber australia During the conversion seems like a good theory! According to this article the conversion was going "full speed ahead" in July 1913 -although not without controversy by the sounds of things: trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/15438846?searchTerm=cons... stables&searchLimits= -AG

  Lewis Hine continues to inspire.

• Beth said:

  Thank you for the background information. 1912...an image like this makes you wonder what became of him: did he become a politician, successful businessman, shop owner, did he fight, and possibly die, in WWI?

• Andrew Wertheimer said:

  Happy birthday Flickr LC! Great image!

• Jim Hair said:

  Beth you can look him up. Short story: He was responsible for protecting children with new labor laws, worked for the Red Cross in Europe in WW1, died in obscurity
