1863 Panorama of Melbourne from Parliament House
Description
PLEASE NOTE: The dimensions of these prints may require special framing.
An early panoramic image of Melbourne from 1863, created from a series of photographs taken by Charles Nettleton, from the top of Parliament House. Starting from the south of the city on the left, looking towards St Kilda, we see the Treasury Building (finished in 1862).
St Paul's Church (1852) was to remain for another 22 years before being demolished (1885) and replaced by the current St Paul's Cathedral. Some of the buildings in the photo that are viewable today include Parliament House, Wesley Church, Treasury Building and St Patrick's Cathedral.
The Scots' Church in the image (built in 1841) was replaced by the current Scots' Church in 1874. The first Exhibition Building (1854-1869) can be seen, where it was located on a site now occupied by the Royal Mint.
