King Street, Ashington Court

Ashington Court is a commercial building located along King Street, seen here with Sydney Tower in the distance. This heritage listed building was designed by Mansfied Bros and built in 1888 in the Victorian Free Classical architectural style. It originally known as The Daily Telegraph Building when it housed the offices of the tabloid newspaper until 1914. It was later known as Elystan Chambers and Cornelius Court.

    Hi Jim! You certainly got a lot into this photo. Love the architecture (esp. the columns) of Ashington court and the tower in the background. Thanks for stopping by Ocala DP.

    A great catch is this small Renaissance treasure in between the modern architecture:)

    A strong contrast in architecture. I do like the look of Ashington Court itself.
