    Post rising. mid to late 1920's ? It's 10:30 and there's an elephant on a window ledge. On the side of No.8 can be seen "DunLaoghaire". It was Kingstown prior to 1920.

    The street sign for Princes Street is in the (then) modern style which - I believe - were erected during the city-wide makeover around the time of the Eucharistic Congress. Thus narrowing the time window to after 1931/2. The corresponding ones in Dun Laoghaire Borough were a distinctive mustard colour, the Dublin City & County ones were green. Note the distinctive border.flic.kr/s/aHsk1L527d

    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

    great shot. those telegraph poles were ugly. looked like a steel tree

    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.
