Elevated view of Sydney Harbour

from Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons

    Not from Government House, but a building at the corner of Bent and Macquarie Streets - later (1891) the Australian Club. Or possibly the top of the (old) Public Library. Compare with earlier Henry King (different gates) - And later Charles Kerry (with 1893 Garden Island sheerlegs) - It was a popular view with photographers - right out through the Heads.

    beachcomber australia Thanks BC, I've taken the date back a few years from 1890 - not much is going on re the southern extension you mentioned.

    And now they want to sell the building, and they will probably gut it. Such a wonderfull building.

    What's the time Mister beachcomber australia?
  • beachcomber australia said:
    pellethepoet Ha ha! The Centennial Hall is under construction, so 1886-7 ?
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Henry King, slightly earlier (no scaffolding), but fifteen minutes later -
  • beachcomber australia said:
    I think the Town Hall had much better proportions in these photos above, before the addition of the Centennial Hall -
  • Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
    beachcomber australia Agreed, the extensions have that mismatched look. Thanks for identifying the scaffolding off to the right of the image, an important feature of the photograph.
