    The Bank of Australasia building is currently occupied by jeweller Paspaley. See a recent photograph here on my blog: lifeasdaddy.typepad.com/streetsofsydney/2006/12/streets_o...

    The door looks to be the same, certainly the arched grill above it. I wonder if the original "Bank of Australasia" lettering is under the newer sign... AB

    I think this is George Street, looking north. Martin Place is to the right of the camera.
  • BobMeade said:
    Nat You're right!
  • Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection said:
    Nat Yes, you are right, thanks! Here is a Google street view showing a similar angle. We'll amend the caption. AB

    Another date marker is Kincoppal Chambers (this side of the Citizens' Life building) which was built/completed 1903 for Stott & Hoare

    Bull's Chambers appears with the ca. 1905 addition/s

    In the distance we see The Albany, in Macquarie St, which was completed in 1905...remained until the 1960s

    Date 1912 (street lamp style) - 1923 (Bank moved). But Kerry & Co. closed in 1917, so 1912-1917
