Poignant snapshot, you may detect the anxiety in the men's (marines?) faces waiting for their loved ones' letter!! <3

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Good finds, good work there - I have zilch to add about the footy players. But old Lawson Street is found on this late 1920s map near the kink in Bowman, between Harris and Point. The warehouse was on steep ground, hence 4 floors on one end and six on the other (a popular arrangement for wool stores, using gravity to go through the various processes).

I am also having no luck with finding a name and date for the building, but there is a good zoomable birds-eye view in 1919 - www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview/?pi=nla.map-f273-4-sd&rgn=...

E U R E K A ! [https://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] You have already correctly named it as the Goodlet & Smith warehouse. They built it originally as a store for their timber merchant business in 1884. " ... There is also a stone building in progress, to be used as a store. It measures 70 feet by 130. ... " - Two small sentences in a lengthy article of purple prose about "Industrial Works in Pyrmont". See SMH 5/7/1884 p.9 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/13561628 And the "Goodlet & Smith Ltd offices" - that cute building to the left in the State Records NSW photo - acms.sl.nsw.gov.au/item/itemDetailPaged.aspx?itemID=188768

[https://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] I think you may be confused by the two G&S buildings described in that wonderful North Australian (!!) article. As I understand it, the store is described - "The solid rock has been hewn out to a great extent, the material being used for building is a magnificent rock-faced stone. The store 70ft. by 130 six storeys high." Then the article describes the workshop building "distant 100 yards or more" with all the steam apparatus etc. This large building (five storeys on the water side?) is seen on the birds-eye view above the words of Herbert St, with three-pointed roof and tall chimney (a hint for the steam engine), and it looks like it is made of timber and galvanised iron as described in the SMH. So I think no later additions of substance. No idea what happened to the sandstone - there was no shortage of it in the area. Similar stonework and blocks are seen on what is now part of Pirrama Road - the whole area has been landscaped to death, but evidence of previous lifeforms is visible on a whizz-round via GoogleMapsStreetView - goo.gl/maps/thPiK . I've said it before - you have got to love this armchair industrial archaeology !
