Three Steps

The small pub Three Steps On George occupies a building which was once part of a local grammar school complex around George and Elizabeth Streets. I believe it was a gym of sorts.

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.

The break-out room

Back of a restaurant on George Street.

Above street level, a lot of Launceston's buildings are vacant or used as storage space. I do know that this lovely Georgian building is mostly flats above the two Italian restaurants that front George Street below.

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.

Diana

Further reasons to keep an eye above street level. This building features a few statues, most prominent of which is the statue of Diana on the corner.
