Other stuff I saw today...

Downstairs


Upstairs. They like those fruit trees...what are those tiny oranges called again?
This is Commercial Road, Prahran


Letter boxes in my street

 
I like when the late afternoon sun hits the Manchester
Unity Building in the city.

Sign-a-rama

At the Flinders/Elizabeth Street tram terminal. Odd they put up a
permanent sign when the show's on for 10 days a year.


25 South Australia. What?


Fantastic Coke sign, Commercial Road, Prahran


This is a multi-sign extravaganza a few doors up from the one above.
Let's look closer...


Can you make out the sign for The Herald underneath?
 (The Herald and The Sun merged in the late 1980s.)


Four 'n Twenty pies...


Four 'n Twenty and Streets icecream


 This coke bottle is pretty ace too.


I love that they called this The Big Store and put
 it on the building! It's at the back of the
building where Prahran Coles is (click to enlarge).


 Fantastic! What a shame they boarded over  the windows.
It even housed an ironmonger.  If you look closely at the top,
you can make out McLelland something (click to enlarge).


It also housed a mercery. Whassat?

Weekend in Walhalla IV - buildings


Richmond & Gloz - Carpenters, builders and undertakers etc.
I love the 'etc' tacked on the end

The lovely Windsor Guesthouse.

An old shed on the main street. 

 
I think this is the old Freemasons Lodge or something like that.

An old railway building

Behind the Museum of Modern Art

Awesome building on Broadway, no idea what it is
