The Rocks, New York Hotel
The former New York Hotel is located along George Street at The Rocks. This three storey building is one of two heritage listed buildings built in 1908 in the Federation Free architectural style that formed the hotel. In the late 1980s, a large commercial building called the DFS Galleria, was erected behind it with the facades of this and a number of other buildings incorporated into the complex.
Quite a contrast with its surroundings!
ReplyDeleteAn incredible structure. This puts a whole new meaning to the concept of recycling.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting, Jim.
ReplyDeleteGlad they were saved

Hi Jim,

Happy Blue Monday!
Lovely old building :)
ReplyDeleteI need to learn about Federation Free architectural style. I like the simplicity of this one building and the pretty decorations on it add a lot.
ReplyDeleteGenie, I've added a link to the post.
DeleteThat's an interesting facade on that building!

I'm glad that the galleria incorporated the older buildings rather than tearing them down.

How interesting that the old facades were incorporated in the new building.
ReplyDeleteThe Art Nouveau façade is lovely!
