Photo printed off a glass negative, must be one of the first photos ever taken of the building which opened in 1903

I don't know whet style of building this is but is certainly elaborate and very ornate. It is very beautiful and I would guess it will still be standing in another hundred years. Don't suppose we will ever see buildings of this calibre ever built again.

I think it is flats now. I think the frontage has some kind of a protection order on it.

There's always been fine art in Council buildings.
