The Rocks, Coroner's Court

This view of the former Coroner's Court building at The Rocks is from Circuar Quay West. It was designed by Walter Liberty Vernon and built in 1906, in the Federation Free Style of architecture. The building is built on sandstone which is partially exposed and on display under the arch here. Further up another arch now features a glass window which reflects the sky.

  5. That's certainly an unusual way to show the rock... and the architecture appeals to me.

  6. I like the shape of each of these windows Jim, and what a refreshing idea to expose what lay beneath/behind a building's external appearance.
