The above is wonderful fun, take your time and you will recognise many buildings still there; you will also see just how much some places have changed.

Apart from St.Phillip's church at the far right I do not think anything else has survived.
Very reminiscent of Macquarie Street at the same time.

1. "Ant-heap" by Royal Australian Historical Society, on Flickr

Dated 1948 and taken from the top of the AWA Tower, this print shows Wynyard Park and Shell House. Hidden for many decades, the side of the Shell House shown in this image was re-exposed in July 2017 when the Menzies Hotel was demolished.

Malloch House, Young Street, Sydney 1927.

The site of Malloch House (10-14 Young Street) was purchased in 1923 from Goldsbrough Mort and Company and the permanent home of Dangar Gedye & Malloch Ltd was erected in 1927.

In the 1938 publication "This Century of Ours" one of the greatest events for the staff who worked in the Young Street building was 'watching through the years the slow progress of the two spans of the Harbour Bridge arch inch by inch towards their central meeting. What jubilation when the bridge was opened and what pride since in gazing on it and talking of it.'

The AMP Centre now stands in its place.

I think my dad worked in there in the ‘60s. Either that one or a similar-sized building next door - obviously not built when that photo was taken.
its a great facade, very Dymocks from 1920s Chicago architecture. real shame it had to go
