Sometimes (always) the light on its own can make something uninteresting look good. Here is a perfect example of that.

The series
Balmain Leagues Club
Balmain Leagues Club opened in 1957 on the corner of Victoria Road and Darling Street in Rozelle, supporting the Balmain Tigers, one of the NSW Rugby League's original nine clubs. The Tigers' premiership tally was, until the mid-1990s, second only to St George and South Sydney. The Australian Rugby League listed the site as a place of historical significance during the code's 2008 centenary. The club closed on 28 March 2010 under a NSW Government order to vacate for what was then the Sydney Metro project. The metro alignment was later changed and the site was not used. The building stood empty on the corner of Victoria Road for over a decade through a series of failed redevelopment attempts. Demolition and rebuild as the Rozelle Village mixed-use development began in 2023, with a new Wests Ashfield Leagues Club to return to the site.
