    Between 1880 (Colonial Secretary's Office completed) and 1895 (dome added). These were the houses whose view was ruined by the Garden Palace (1879-82).
  • beachcomber australia said:
    They are a fine set of balconies . Reverse view by Henry King -

    What a wonderful row of terraces....each one different and charming in it's own way.

    This is the image I was thinking of - how would you like this built in your front yard? - 1879 - acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/album/ItemViewer.aspx?itemid=846071&am... (from the excellent Mullins album, SLNSW - acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/item/itemDetailPaged.aspx?itemID=836375 )

    One of these houses is still there, but I can't work out which it is - HELP! - GoogleMapsStreetView - maps.google.com.au/maps?q=Macquarie+St,+Sydney+NSW&hl...

Sydney Natatorium in Pitt Street, Sydney

    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?

    beachcomber australia [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Excellent sleuthing! I'll update the caption. Those photographers from the Government Printing Office certainly did get around!

    Looks like Newcastle, with the original Fred Ash hardware business centre left, and Nobby's in the background.
  • Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection said:
    jrg_from_oz Looks like this Moment in Time may be easier than first thought... AB
  • Lake Macquarie said:
    Definitely Newcastle, Royal Newcastle Hospital in the centre right third of the photo. Fort Scratchley in the left centre. Nobby's would be further to the left. Royal Newcastle Hospital at a later date here flic.kr/p/9QQYhk LMDHS
  • Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection said:
    Lake Macquarie Ah, so that's the hospital that now looks dwarfed by the apartment block beside it? AB
  • beachcomber australia said:
    Newcastle for sure (foreshore?). But when? And where was the photographer standing? Trying to get relative dates from buildings which are or are not there. Waratah Terraces (see note) is still there (minus one at right) and surrounded by later buildings. Google Street View maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=...
