The parliamentary precinct from Sydney Street, about 1880

This view from Sydney Street, about 1880, gives a good impression of Clayton's westward extensions of the 1870s. From left to right: the Legislative Council block, the library, Bellamy's, the chamber of the House of Representatives and a three-storey office block at the front.
