Looking across Union Square, on the corner of Harris Street and Miller Street, in the inner city suburb of Pyrmont. This is an old photo from 2015 because the former Commonwealth Bank branch here has since closed. The Pyrmont and Ultimo Great War Memorial was unveiled in 1922. It is a four-sided monument made of trachyte on a base of sandstone and is topped with a bronze statue of a female figure representing 'peace'.
What happened to the building when the bank branch closed? Is the area protected?
ReplyDeleteThe last time I was there it didn't have a new tenant yet. It's not heritage listed but the former post office on the left is.
DeleteI like the unusual shape of the memorial.
ReplyDeleteI like the plantings around the memorial.
