Treasury Building, Macquarie Street
The old Treasury Building in Macquarie Street has been incorporated into the Hotel InterContinental Sydney. The original sandstone building designed by Walter Liberty Vernon was built in 1896 and the hotel tower was built in 1984. The building has used for the former Colonial Secretary General and then for the New South Wales Premier’s Office. I took this photo during the recent Vivid Sydney festival which featured light projections on many buildings in Macquarie Street. The simple lighting on the facade of this heritage building also looks impressive to me.
I have really enjoyed seeing your Sydney building illumination photos.It may be art for the masses, but very effective. How good is is it that the hotel has taken over the old building.
