A close view beneath the awning where Harris and John Streets meet, marking one of the key entrances to the Terminus Hotel.
The green enamel street sign remains fixed in place, while its twin above John Street is almost completely consumed by ivy. Beneath the canopy, vines hang through the rusted corrugated sheeting, reaching down toward the flaking brickwork and fading cream paint of the façade. The exposed brick column at the corner hints at earlier repairs, now softened by time and weather.
This was once the most visible corner of the Terminus Hotel, a landmark for anyone approaching from the Pyrmont end of Harris Street.
Carefully reproduced on museum-grade archival paper, this image captures the enduring identity of place through rich colour, subtle light, and lived-in surface detail.
