Site of the present day Queen Victoria Building (QVB) and upmarket retail shopping precinct, in substantially the same building although minus the street awnings and columns. the interior has been rebuilt retaining many original features.

Building on the left is still largely the same too. Was Gresham Hotel until maybe 10, 15, 20 years ago.

Ada Crossley (see note) 1874-1929, was a famous Australian soprano who went to London in March 1894 (returning in 1903) - hence this "farewell" concert advertisement. Ref - adbonline.anu.edu.au/biogs/A080176b.htm . Which implies this photo is February / March 1894 (at 12:44pm!).

Wait a minute! The Bank of NSW (1894) at cnr George and Bathurst Streets (now a KFC) was not built yet in this photo. The "farewell" concert may have been because Ada Crossley was returning to Melbourne. So this photo is 1892 or 1893. See - www.flickr.com/photos/powerhouse_museum/2363490062/
