Summary

Description

King Street near corner of George Street - showing miscellaneous variety of unsightly and unsuitable verandahs, awnings, signboards Dated: 21/04/1888 Digital ID: 745_a019_a019000015 Rights: www.records.nsw.gov.au/about-us/rights-and-permissions

In 1879 The City of Sydney Improvement Act was constituted as a result of the findings of the Sydney City and Suburban Sewage and Health Board regarding the poor condition of buildings and sanitation within the City of Sydney due to a lack of proper legislation and codes of building practice. The City of Sydney Improvement Board was appointed to execute the Act. These photographs, taken by private photographers for the Board, show buildings in need of repair or undergoing alterations, as well as views of streets showing the condition of awnings, signboards and walls of shops, hotels and private residences.
