The inner west suburb of Summer Hill has many heritage listed buildings. The former post office (top) building which opened in 1900 was designed by Walter Liberty Vernon, in the Federation Free style. It is located on the corner of Smith Street and Moonbie Street. Further along Smith Street are these four shopfronts and residences (bottom) erected in 1913 and designed by architect J. Spencer-Stansfield with Art Nouveau styling.

ReplyDeleteI think my laneway was somewhere near where your photo was taken, possibly around the corner, I remember seeing the red dots on the road but the trees and installation was certainly not there.
