    Does anyone know where this baths was? (Or these baths were?!) I cannot find any reference to indoor baths in Sydney, except for at Dawes Point. Ironwork looks c.1890, but there are electric lamps, so possibly later? See Newcastle Municipal Baths -

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Bravo! Well found! Pitt St Natatorium and People's Palace it is. I wonder why the photo ended up in State Records?

    I love these old stereo pairs. There is a good sample of them in the Photo Collection of the National Gallery of Canada.

    Date - 1892 about May. From the advert on the Exchange Hotel for "Signor Foli, Premier Basso of the World, Town Hall, W.H. Poole Director. See SMH, 16/5/1892, p.7 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/13854120

    This pic is interesting...if you zoom in on the original pic at the PHM you can see that over in Bridge St there's a vacant space where the Burns Philp Building was built in 1899-1900...so just going on this pic, it appears that this vacant space must have remained as we see it here thru much of the 1890s...the allotment was evidently purchased by Burns Philp in 1899... trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/85783328 - the Cumberland Argus, 9th August, 1899...'Burns Philp's Business'...'Messrs. Burns, Philp, and Co., Limited, have purchased the large vacant blocks of land in Bridge-street, alongside Holdsworth, Macpherson's, upon which they propose erecting large shipping offices.' NSW SA pic of the row of buildings in Bridge St that occupied the site on which the Burns Philp Building was later built...with the exception of the small building on the rhs (which at one point was part of the Metropolitan Hotel), these buildings appear to have been demolished in the late 1880s or early 1890s... www.flickr.com/photos/state-records-nsw/2627336538/
