The Rigging Shed (1887) on Garden Island (see note) should help date this photo. The Marine Barracks (1888) are not complete, but have gained another floor by the time Henry King took this photo a few metres to the left (and the paint job was complete) - www.flickr.com/photos/powerhouse_museum/2363491416/

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Ha! - I am still on limited internet so cannot study it too much at present. I remember having great trouble finding the dates of those buildings via a Garden Island website which I have lost. I think it must be c.1888, because of the unfinished Marine Barracks.

beachcomber australia Thanks beachcomber! Looks almost exactly the same photograph. We think this work must have been undertaken between 1890 and 1920, looking at the men's clothing and the horse and cart.

The house at centre on Potts Point is 'Bomera' (1856), before the building of 'Tarana' (1889) next door. See history - www.environment.gov.au/cgi-bin/ahdb/search.pl?mode=place_... 'Bomera' was taken over by the NSW State Government in 1890 to develop new wharves.
