    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Privy Council: Court Buildings of the British Empire, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

    Before the James Barnet side-wing additions in the 1880s.

    Darlinghurst Courthouse was the first seat of the High Court of Australia after federation. The Court first sat here in 1903.

    Between 1879-82 due to the Garden Palace. I think we are looking north, not west.but not yet sure what the building roof is. Perhaps Darlinghurst Gaol or Courthouse?
  • pellethepoet said:
    Well I suppose NNW could be said to be a fraction west ... :)
  • samdefranc said:
    Could this be looking down upon Forbes St? Using Google Earth, the perspective seems to fit,
  • pellethepoet said:
    I think you're right samdefranc. The building in the middle distance could be the heritage listed St. Peters Rectory.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    I am sure it is Forbes Street on the left - that terrace of houses and the Rectory are visible on Google Street view behind all the trees. The roof seems to belong to 270 Liverpool Street - possibly not this building but currently for sale - www.realcommercial.com.au/cgi-bin/rsearch?a=depi&t=co... . I wonder if there was previously a Government Building on that site ?

    You would think that there would never be timber scaffolding outside the AGNSW in this day and age?

    Well, there's more:

    This looks like an OH&S nightmare by today's standards, but it is fascinating to see how the (National) Gallery was built. The gantry arrangement at top right looks very flimsy, especially with blocks of stone on it..

    Y I K E S !

    This is NOT the Art Gallery of NSW. We were very wrong fourteen years ago. Good old 4481 series!

    I think it is the right hand addition to Darlinghurst Courthouse.
    "... Colonial Architect James Barnet designed major flanking court room pavilion additions to the building in 1884-88. ..."

    where a Roman numeral date is set in stone. I think it says ...
    MDCCCLXXXIV or 1884, which should be the date of the photo, or maybe a year earlier.

    That's Darlo' court house all right with its Doric order columns, just like the Parthenon!
    This is the AGNSW under construction, Ionic order columns anyone?
