West from Phillip Street, on the left is the garden of Campbell House (pre-Union Club), then Bligh St with Creswick Club on the corner, with the larger Australia Club beside it. Straight ahead is the back of the Surveyor-General, and up on the hill is the Observatory. Colorisation can turn up details that are missed in b&w, like here I found that Harrington Street in the Rocks has been demolished and regraded in preparation for becoming an extension of George Street to Argyle, which was never completed.
