The Charles

Ahhh, The Charles. I was speaking to a work colleague, who worked in this building when it was still part of the local hospital complex. The views, she tells me, were excellent.

LMC + roller door

i've never been on this side of Penquite Road, so i've never been close enough to take a close look at this overlooked building. is it a shed? water-related infrastructure? a very small window-less house?

all i can gather is that it's something council-related, as i understand "LMC" (delightful art deco font, no?) stands for "Launceston Metropolitan Corporation". there's a similarly adorned building up in West Launceston that i might stop to get a photo of one day. any thoughts or facts about this building's purpose will receive my eternal gratitude...

Holyman House

You can't really do a photo blog about Launceston without including Holyman House. It's a fairly prominent art-deco building, and it's just so photogenic.

To me, it looks like the corner of an unfinished streetscape. Off to the left of shot, you can see the adjoining buildings don't quite fit in look or size - so Holyman House looks to me a little like a lonely cruise ship.

Luck's Corner

Launceston has a few of these little gems tucked away around the CBD. Luck's Corner is a fairly modest art-deco building, tiled all round, on the corner of Patterson and George Streets. Downstairs is a fancy bistro, upstairs is (I believe) residential space.
