The building that stands here now, Australia Square, and its architect Harry Seidler, are revered. Indeed it is far superior to contemporary examples. However his annex building on the Pitt Street end of Australia Square makes it clear he could compromise good design for commercial imperatives. It's hideous and adds nothing to anything except developer floor space. The courtyard and the main building would have sat better without it. Later at the MLC Centre he took some of those undesirable aspects a few steps further.

Amongst other things, this pic gives a good view of the site of
Anthony Hordern & Sons' Haymarket Palace Emporium, which fronted George/Barlow/Parker Sts. By the time this pic was taken, Horderns had long since moved to their massive New Palace Emporium, which occupied the block bound by George/Pitt/Liverpool/Goulburn Sts...it was built in 1904-05. But many of the Haymarket Palace Emporium buildings remained standing for years afterwards...albeit with additions, etc...

The Haymarket Palace Emporium buildings seen here were built/rebuilt following the catastrophic July 1901 fire, which damaged and destroyed most of the original Emporium buildings...some were rebuilt in the later half of 1901...the others appear to have been built/rebuilt in the following year or so...
