The upper level has an intricate laced wrought iron balcony on which is stored demolition materials and lumber. A woman in the street, at the entrance to Carruther Place, contemplates two huge advertising hoardings and a ornate cast iron tram pole beside the terraces being demolished.

Ardill ran the Sydney Rescue Work Society and various associated charitable organisations from this address for almost two decades. Ardill fundraised and provided practical support for ‘fallen’ women and children.LanguageNo linguistic content - Not applicable (zxx)Author/creatorCity of SydneyPublisherCity of Sydney
