Hotel Metropole, Sydney

from Powerhouse Museum

    see also - www.powerhousemuseum.com/imageservices/index.php/2010/03/... Hotel opened on 14 January 1890. This photo must be about that time because the southern half of the Lands Department Building (completed 1891) is under construction. Strange that there are not more people around - apart from the person on the balcony, the hotel looks shut. I would imagine that there would be staff / porters standing outside to welcome guests and carriages. Maybe the photo is full of ghosts!
