Ultimo, Dalgety Woolstores warehouse
The former Dalgety Woolstores is bounded by Wattle Street, William Henry Street and Jones Street, in the inner city suburb of Ultimo. It was built in 1895 in the Federation architectural style. An extensive fire in 1990 destroyed the timber internal structure. The building was refurbished in 1992 as two separate apartment developments with a concrete internal structure.
The building certainly looks impressive against that sky.
ReplyDeleteSuch fine example of the care for solidity in a new world!
ReplyDeleteImpressive perspective! Arianna
ReplyDeleteAmazing how the building works effectively with the slope of the ground. Most impressive.
ReplyDeleteGreat angle shot and wonderful composition against the sky ~
ReplyDeleteWishing you a fun weekend ~ ^_^
The perspective with which you captured this impressive builidng is superb.
ReplyDeleteWhen the building was rebuilt in 1992 as two separate residential developments, was the exterior left intact?
ReplyDeleteHels, I believe so although the timber windows were destroyed in the fire.
DeleteNice building but ouch the slope
ReplyDeleteOh, I feel the same about your perspective of this building that Photo Cache does!! Terrific capture, Jim, as always!! I hope you have a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteIt must have been quite a task constructing this building on this slope Jim.
ReplyDeleteinteresting architecture !
ReplyDeletelove your Sydney shots Jim...I really like how the building's windows step down levels to accommodate the slope of the hill. Thanks for sharing at Cath@Home for Fun Friday Favourites.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to know that the building is still being used...as apartments now. And the design/architecture is really interesting...unique.
ReplyDeleteHandsome building. It's great that they kept the building instead of toring it down. It's a pity that many great buildings were demolished in Helsinki in the 1960-70s. Fortunately nowadays old buildings are appreciated.
ReplyDeleteImpressive looking building.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that the building was built on a slope. It would have been a challenge to build that beautiful building.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful building and sky!
ReplyDeleteI just like this. The way the building is done and the fantastic BLUE sky.
