Royal Exhibition Building Melbourne
Hi there ... The Royal Exhibition Building is a World Heritage Site-listed building in Melbourne, Australia, completed in 1880. It is located at 9 Nicholson Street in
the Carlton
Gardens, flanked by Victoria, Nicholson, Carlton and
Rathdowne Streets, at the north-eastern edge of the central business
district. It was built to host the Melbourne International
Exhibition in 1880-1881 and later hosted the opening of the first Parliament of Australia in 1901. Throughout the 20th century smaller sections and
wings of the building were subject to demolition and fire, however the main
building, known as the Great Hall, survived. – Courtesy of Wikipedia.
Quite a facade here.

ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting building with this strong façade. Do you know the architectural style? I feel that it is a mixture of several, quite well combined.

Gosh I love what you've done with this image Joe, beautifully presented. Love the big clumps of Bird of Paradise on each side of the fountain. Totally gorgeous shot.
