Description

Unique IDA-00040978SeriesDemolition Books - Albums and PrintsDateBetween 1st January 1912 and 31st December 1912Date qualifiercircaFormatPhotograph - PrintNavigationSee Related Items for the Glass Plate Negative of this image.DescriptionThis view from the corner of Liverpool Street along Castlereagh Street includes a cottage with deep eaves and two chimney stacks, reputedly the home of William Roberts, one-time alderman on the council and Sydney’s oldest practising solicitor when he died in 1900. Squeezed in behind is the Particular Baptist Church and manse. There is a painted sign on the end of the two-storey terrace at right, for ‘Waratah House, Residential Chambers, Single & Double Rooms'. The single-storey corner building with working on the roof is pasted with signs reading; ‘Premises coming down - entire stock to go regardless of stock’. Mark Foy’s landmark Piazza store was directly opposite, which may account for the stylishly-dressed women crossing at this busy intersection. Anthony Hordern & Sons department store is in the middle distance.
