On the right corner with Argyle Place is a row of terraces which has commercial space on the ground floor with residential space above, built around 1906 in the Federation style. The high rise office buildings in the distance, including Salesforce Tower, are in the central business district. The Windmill Street Bridge and Munn Street Bridge in the foreground were built in 1910 when Hickson Road below was cut out of the sandstone cliff to provide a link between the wharves on Walsh Bay and those being built at Darling Harbour.
