    The correct date for the laying of the foundation stone was Saturday 7 September, 1912 - PEEPS INTO HISTORY. EDUCATION IN NEW SOUTH WALES. FOUNDATION STONE LAYING. The Sydney Morning Herald, Monday 9 September 1912, p. 8.:

    "This is an historic spot."
    Those words formed the keynote of more than one speech made at the laying of the foundation stone of the new building being erected for the State Education Department, at the corners of Bridge, Loftus, and Young streets on Saturday morning. The ceremony was performed by the Minister for Education, Mr. C. Carmichael, M.L.A. Among those present were Sir Normand MacLaurin, Professor David, Judge Backhouse, and many others. ...

    Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection Never too easy - just that I have been there before with the Henry King photo. I remember three years ago having huge problems trying to find what the occasion was (when Trove was young).
