History of item

Photographer's note:

I took the photograph in 1958, one of my first with new camera and 35mm Kodachrome film! I was a frequent user of Albert Street in those days when travelling between the city and my home. I was always intrigued by its Moorish styling to be seen also on the old State (now Forum)Theatre in Flinders Street.
