Description: Size: 233 x 360 mm This photo shows an area of Collingwood that has substantially changed with the construction of Collingwood Technical School, Collingwood TAFE College and the Ministry of Housing high rise flats. In the foreground is the police station and watch house on the north side of Perry Street. On the opposite side of Perry Street is a house with a pretty lattice work porch and the two storey Janefield's dairy. Further down the street are several houses with wooden shingle roofs, one in very poor repair. In Otter Street is St Joseph's Catholic church and (on the corner of Wellington Street) St George's Presbyterian church. In Wellington Street are the Wellington Hotel, Bryant's variety store, the Studley Arms Hotel and the Londonderry Hotel. Over the roof of the Studley Arms Hotel can be seen rows of identical houses, probably in Campbell Street. On the west side of Wellington Street St Joseph's hall is under construction. In the distance is the Wesleyan Methodist church in Gipps Street.
