Album - Demolition Books - Volume 50 - Resumptions, 1917-1937

Description

Unique IDA-01187720SeriesDemolition Books - Albums and Prints, 1900-1949DateBetween 1st January 1917 and 31st December 1937Date qualifieryear onlyFormatPhotograph - AlbumDescriptionThe City Surveyor’s Department generated 12 resumption albums between 1906 and 1940 (Volumes 18, 25, 27, 28 to 31, 37, 49 and 50). There are also two presentation albums of resumption photographs (Volumes 16 and 42). These resumption photographs show various streetscapes before they were swept away in the compulsory council resumptions in the first four decades of the 20th century.

The Sydney Municipal Council gained authority to resume properties in 1905. The council took up resumption with enthusiasm, particularly when Allen Arthur Taylor was the Lord Mayor in 1905–1906 and 1909–1912.

The first half of the album contains photographs taken by Hall & Company of resumptions in 1917: Buckland Street Chippendale; Esther, Violet and Raper Streets in Surry Hills; and Earl Street Potts Point. The City Surveyor’s Department engaged the photographic firm Hall & Co (Hall and Company) to take photographs of the City’s resumptions from 1906 until at least 1928. Hall & Co kept the negatives, which means that the City only holds the prints for these photographs. Hall & Co’s practice was to inscribe the date the photograph was taken on to the negative, which distinguishes their prints from other photographic negatives and prints commissioned by the City Building Surveyor.

The second half of the album features 18 photographs by Milton Kent; all but 1 were taken in 1933 (the final photograph is dated 1937).

The areas covered in this album include: City, Chippendale, Potts Point, Rushcutters Bay, Surry Hills,
