t&g building
The T&G Building was an early Sydney skyscraper, on the corner of Elizabeth and Park Streets. Here it's going up in the early 1930s.

And here completed, though not for very long.
Below are street decorations for the Queen's visit in 1954.

And below is the 50 storey T&G Tower that replaced it less than forty years later.

Aren't we lucky.
...Further photos below I've since found. Do click on each image to enlarge it (then click on it again for its full size.) The details are great.



Watched them demolish this beautiful old building catching the bus in Elizabeth St. In 1973. Pissed me off severely as a teenager
