Scope of item?[edit]

I'm not clear on whether this item is intended to refer to only the "old" sandstone building, constructed in stages from 1906 to 1964, or the entire complex including the modern-style Macquarie Street addition that opened in 1988. ⁓ Pelagicmessages ) 13:44, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Answering my own question: SHR Plan 2988 at [1] shows the new buildings as part of the State Heritage Register curtilage, so NSW Heritage database ID (P3449)=5045212 would apply to the whole grouping. Also Andersons, architect of the new extension, is listed as on this item architect (P84)Andrew Andersons (Q4756211). Thus I'll take this item to include the 1988 extension as well as the older parts. ⁓ Pelagicmessages ) 14:00, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
