I had hoped to get a better view of the artwork in the left foreground, but the grey car parked in front made that impossible. The red sandstone buildings themselves were originally called Mulberry Bank, and they date from 1887. The location is at the corner of Main Street and Arthur Street. The red sandstone buildings continue to the north, becoming progressively older: those on the other side (north) of Arthur Street date from 1885; Dalmary Place dates from 1884; north of Albert Street is Plane Tree Bank (undated).
