Don't you just love it, when you can date a photo to the year ;-)
Ice House Street?
Hi. Is Ice House Street the one we can see on the left hand side of this photo? A building in the distance looks as if it could be the one on the right in my mystery building site photo.

Re: Ice House Street?
Hi there,
The photographer should be standing at the corner of Pedder Street & Des Voeux Road Central, west bound.
Ice House Street is the street behind the triangular building, ie, the Alexandra House.
Best Regards,

Here is a 1961 map to give some sense of direction.
The building site as seen: http://gwulo.com/node/8908
