Whoopee! I have been wondering what this place might have looked like . . . It is the old Benevolent Asylum at the corner of Pitt and Devonshire Streets at Railway Square, in what was then referred to as Redfern. Next to the OLD Redfern railway terminus. We are looking east with the old cemeteries behind and the Standard Brewery on Elizabeth Street. This fine building was demolished in 1901 to make way for the new Central Station. 1895 interactive map - www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview?pi=nla.map-rm3443-sd&rgn=0...

Well done beachcomber! I am sure many family historians would love seeing what this building look like.

1821 it was built - Imagine somebody trying to knock that down nowadays! Governor Macquarie was closely involved in this building - www.bensoc.org.au/director/aboutus/benevolentsocietyhisto... . The Benevolent Society has been involved in magnificent work over nearly 200 years - www.bensoc.org.au/director/aboutus/benevolentsocietyhisto...

Open to correction by tramway experts - I think this is definitely Pitt Street looking south from about the Spring St corner. According to wikipedia, "Trams operated from Central station down Castlereagh Street to Circular Quay and back up Pitt Street in a large anti-clockwise loop.". Hence the single tramway line towards the left of the street. Not so sure about the "1900-1912" date. The City of Sydney website says that style of street light happened after 1912 - history.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/sydneystreets/Minding_the... Also the car ...

Nice John. interesting to see that the car, probably a post WW1 unit by the look of it, is outnumbered by horse+cart. I'm leaning towards George Street but unsure.
