| Watercolor and ink, Queen Victoria Building looking at the side entrance |
I love to bring Canadians to see the Queen Victoria Building as it's a beautiful example of Victorian architecture. It was built in the 1890s and takes up an entire block on George Street next to Town Hall. It was built to be a market place and there were even studios for the well known painters of the time, painting portraits of wealthy society folk. When I came to Sydney in the 1980's this building was boarded up and there had been talk of it being pulled down. Many years of restoration later we have the most beautiful place to shop, stroll, eat and take in the ambience of a grander time.
