    [Thanks State Records NSW] Between 1887 (James Barnet rebuild) and 1896 (Walter Liberty Vernon additions), see www.sydneyarchitecture.com/ROC/QUA05.htm . See also comments here - and

    Note the streets paved with woodblocks. And no trams tracks. Should help us narrow the date further.
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Trams were 1899; woodblocking first done in 1887 at Circular Quay - (SMH 16/8/1887, para 8) - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/28350536 . So no closer, except the woodblocks do look shiny and new (they mistakenly used the wrong unseasoned wood and the blocks rotted - letter from John Young in SMH 3/7/1894 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/13958155 ) And the 'ghosts' imply a long exposure and earlier photographic techniques. I reckon this is a record of the newly completed Customs House and newly woodblocked Circular Quay in 1887. Or not?

    beachcomber australia We can practically hear your brain ticking this one over! 1887-1896 is a great start and more than we had. AB

    Whirr - buzz - tick - tock - bleep . . . . ! The 1887 date on the building is easier to see on this Henry King photo or the persistent URL at full zoom - from.ph/31441

    I like the way those shadows lead to the bicycle.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Brian Mulligan I'm offaly sorry!
  • heady school said:
    That car's a bit of a tricky one. Maybe a Vauxhall Cresta PB, but I'm not 100% convinced of that.

    Incredible photo of American history.
  • Howard33 said:
    I'm going to guess 3rd Avenue North, between Broad and Church. The streets in that area were still brick when I lived there in the early 50's.
  • Scott said:
    What a great looking old capture - congrats!
  • Howard33 said:
    As an off and on resident of Nashville, I recognize that as 2nd Avenue about a block off Broadway. I can see the smog in the background. You won't notice that these days. I guess all of those old brick streets are gone now.
