An interesting Facebook site entitled Lost Brisbane. One of the albums in Lost Brisbane is those buildings that have been pulled down in the CBD
Prudential Building , Brisbane CBD
The archive is the John Oxley Library, State Library Queensland. The 1970s and 1980s were a time when the 19th century and early 20th century buildings in the CBD of the Australia's capital cities were pulled down. In Brisbane there was a lot of destruction and rebuilding. Adelaide, in contrast, cared about protecting the centre.
