This collection includes 33 images found in plastic sheet protectors, which have been defined by staff as the master set. 25 of the images are Rooks original photography of the interior of the building. 7 of the images are Rooks copy work to record the architectural drawings by Myer. The location of the original drawing s photographed by Rooks is unknown, but may be owned by the City, and located either in their facilities offices, or in the City Archives. Also included are extra copies of some of the 33 images.

Rooks slides include a running description, as the viewer moves from one image to the other. The individual phrases are given with the slide numbers listed below. The entire “tour” script is as follows:

“The basement stairway leads to a grand staircase, which rises to third floor level, under a vaulted ceiling. This stairway leads to the bell tower, and to the spiral staircase, leading to the bell made in 1879, and to the clockworks. This whimsical pillar supports nothing and must contain the “crown jewels”? It runs between two upper floors. Everywhere there is hand-carver ornamentation. And some rooms have fireplaces with grates still intact. A possible bookshop entrance, with an ornate doormat? Looking up in, or looking down … there are interesting details reminiscent of our early days of furniture carving. All scheduled for demolition, and any time after June 16, no later than August.”
