A locally produced postcard showing crowds gathering to witness the fire which destroyed the original House of Representatives and the Legislative Council buildings at Parliament on 11 December 1907. Photographed at the intersection of Sydney Street (later to become known as Sydney Street East and then renamed Kate Sheppard Place) and Molesworth Street. Note the corner of the Wellington Hotel on the right which was replaced with a new building in 1912 and was later renamed the Backbencher Pub.
