  What a lovely building and a great photo :)

• William Kimber said:

  Classic deco design. In fact, there is one almost exactly the same in my hometown of St Catharines, Ontario, Canada.

• Joel Hughes said:

  HI Uncle Lynx, any photos of the building? :)

• William Kimber said:

  Gee, joel, I would have to check that they've not torn it down. If ever I get a chance when I return to St Catharines, I'll try shooting the hotel.

• pellethepoet said:

  beachcomber australia Yes! Nice work making the connection. The change in street numbers is not surprising.

• pellethepoet said:

  The Sydney metropolitan detail series (Google Satellite View equivalent of late 1880s) - acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/_zoomify/2008/D00663/a1367322.html - gives a clearer understanding of the former layout of the buildings at the intersection.

• beachcomber australia said:

  Re the date - from the GoogleMapsStreetView above, the buildings which replaced this corner shop (Bob Janes and the blocks of units) look to be c.1930, which would make this photo late 1920s. Also the 1920s car in Reddy Street behind.
