Description of No. 2

Another view of the city is presented in this photograph. It was taken from a point about over the South Brisbane coal wharves and River Terrace. Victoria Bridge appears in the foreground to the left, with the Government Offices flanking it on the right, the new Savings Bank building being especially prominent by reason of its height. A little further to the right is Perry Brothers' tall building, at the corner of Albert and Elizabeth Streets, and the flat roof of the Stadium is visible close by. George Street and Albert Street are leading features in this view, and the extensive produce sheds in the neighbourhood of the Roma Street Railway Station bulk largely on the left. The Courier Building rears its massive proportions near the right centre, and near it the narrow frontage of the Kodak buildings rears its six stories. Further back is the Central Station, with the broad expanse of Upper Edward Street to the left, running up on to Wickham Terrace.
