The old Brooklyn Hotel, disdained by the late Harry Seidler who wanted to tear it down as it offended the minimalist bareness of his Grosvenor Place tower behind, seen here on its opening day as Johnsons workwear. George Street was being widened then, which accounts for the (now long-gone) late-Federation-style/pre-WW1 rebuilds. There's a chap unloading chairs off a wagon in Grosvenor, and signs in the windows advertising their specialities. (The original Brooklyn Hotel was actually next door, down George Street, but became the pub when Johnsons moved out.)
