Description: Size: 217 x 275 mm A lovely photo of the town hall under construction with dozens of workmen posed on the footpath, on scaffolding and on the top of the building. Every workman wears a hat and some wear aprons. The rendering on most of the building has been completed but the tower is still bare brick. The whole building is covered in scaffolding and a fence at footpath level prevents illegal access to the site. Hoddle Street appears to be a sea of mud; Stanton Street was probably not yet in existence. Content of image: Collingwood Town Hall Address: Hoddle Street town hall
