    beachcomber australia It was the site of the first Government House. "After Government House was demolished, the site was used variously as a carter's yard, a fruit shop, a confectioner and a tobacco shop, government offices, accommodation for nurses during the Second World War and a car park. At one stage it was to become the site of the city's town hall and later was mooted as the location for a multi-storey office block." www.environment.gov.au/heritage/places/national/first-gov... Now the site of the Historic Houses Trust's Museum of Sydney www.hht.net.au/museums/mos

  • Kent Broadhead said:
    Nice to see that, apart from the Metropole, all readily visible buildings in shot still stand, although the trees outside the Public Instruction Office went in 1911.

    DannyM8 Thanks Danny. So almost certainly 1950 (or a bit later).
