Phillip Street 1984

It was awesome to find this rare photo. Though taken in the 80s, it shows the reconfigured Philip Street at Chifley Square as it was originally made in the 1960s. The building ahead is the old Commonwealth Government Centre, where we got passports etc. The old interwar building to its right is a remnant from Phillip Street's original alignment and stood on the corner with Hunter. Both modernist buildings on either side went up in Sydney's rebuilding rampage of the 1960s. 

- and yet none of those buildings above survive, just as their 19th century predecessors they'd replaced.
