By the 1880s Sydney’s civic core was lined with parliament houses, banks, schools, churches and harbour works that signalled a maturing colonial capital. Contemporary photographs recorded these façades and interiors in detail, from the General Post Office and Town Hall precinct to parish churches and Mortuary Station. This post gathers that 1880s survey of public buildings, places of worship and related city views.
