Did I miss the old stone Tourist Bureau building in Macquarie street where I used to work?

Where was (is?) the TAA building? 7:21

[@mcrazza]

A lot of the new buildings in 1961 are still around today, but some are sadly gone.
Someone needs to timestamp the buildings, what it was/is and what's replaced it.

6:20 onwards is the old Transport Commission building. Demolished around the year 2000 from memory.
Noting the Transport Commission itself is long gone as such, having had a very long list of name over the years and most functions long since privatised or handed to local government.

@@shaun5552 Yeah, demolished to make way for One Collins.
