    This is amazing. I'm sure most of this is gone. It's such an even height over the different buildings. This just could not be a CBD in modern times.

    The date is between 1880 and 1889; the first stage of the Colonial Secretary's building, in Bridge Street, was completed 1880; the Phillip Street extension (not present) was not started till 1890; the Metropole Hotel, cnr Bent and Phillip Streets (not present in this pic) opened 1890 …

    Museum photos on flickr with open licensing! What a brilliant initiative - makes me proud to be an Australian. Hoping I can add something to the value of these images when I spot something I have first hand knowledge about. (got any images from south australia?)
  • Eric Schmeric said:
    In all fairness, the "initiative" belongs to the U.S. Library of Congress, the first organization to work on this project on Flickr.

    Note the "middle rail" on the King St tram lines - they were cable trams.
  • Jason Painter said:
    What intersection is this?
  • beachcomber australia said:
    It is the King Street / George Street intersection looking east. The reverse view is here: www.flickr.com/photos/powerhouse_museum/2901695720/ The pepperpot is still there at the corner of Pitt Street, as are several buildings in King Street. Cable trams ran on this line between 1894-1905; tapered outline telephone poles were pre c.1900, which narrows the date of this photo a lot. www.powerhousemuseum.com/collection/database/?irn=207898&...
