This side view of the Sydney Town Hall is from York Street. The heritage listed building was designed by John H. Wilson and completed in 1889 in the Grand Victorian Second Empire architectural style. In the background of this sandstone heritage building are contemporary skyscrapers the HSBC Centre on George Street and Lumiere in Bathurst Street. This view of the town hall is improved in Winter when the trees have dropped all their leaves.

The vintage town hall looks great in front of two larger and more modern buildings.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful!

A nice view of this contrast in building styles!
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes though trees are lovely, they can obscure other lovely things.
It's a lovely old building, Jim.

nice contrast tween old and new
ReplyDeleteThis is a great shot Jim. Winter is the time to catch views like this. I also like the old and new together - would love to have an apartment there.
ReplyDeleteHave you been to Auckland? Your town hall is like a sister to Auckland"s.
ReplyDeleteExcellent contrast between old and new Jim, a rose between two thorns!!
ReplyDeleteI was looking down George St yesterday and thinking how good it looks - like your photo
ReplyDeleteHi there - alwsy did like the "old and new" kind of picture for buildings - and this is a very good example!
ReplyDeleteCheers Stewart M
Love the contrast between two buildings and both are awesome!

There's a bit of red in that shot, so I'll take it as a sign that this post will suffice for Ruby Tuesday as well as other memes. I'm glad to see the town hall in winter. Otherwise, foliage would obscure much of the building!
ReplyDeleteI’M FOND OF CERISE
For red my affection is great,
It’s puce and chartreuse that I hate.
I’m fond of cerise,
It makes a nice piece
Of clothing that looks just first-rate.
