A close look at the downstairs hallway wall, its surface shedding in thin, curling layers.
The lead-based paint has cracked and lifted over time, revealing glimpses of earlier colours beneath. Pale green gives way to soft blue and faded cream, each layer marking a different chapter in the hotel’s long life. At the far end, the timber counter of the main bar catches the afternoon light, just visible through the narrow doorway.
These small textures carry the weight of decades, capturing the quiet decay within Pyrmont’s former Terminus Hotel.
