    QUEEN VICTORIA BUILDING
    SYDNEY
    The Queen Victoria Building (or QVB), is a late-nineteenth-century building designed by the architect George McRae in the Sydney central business district,
    in the Australian state of New South Wales. The Romanesque Revival building was constructed between 1893 and 1898 and is 30 metres (98 ft) wide by 190 metres (620 ft) long.
    The domes were built by Ritchie Brothers a steel and metal company that also built trains, trams and farm equipment. The building fills a city block bounded by George, Market, York and Druitt Streets.
    Designed as a marketplace, it was used for a variety of other purposes, underwent remodelling and suffered decay until its restoration and return to its original use in the late twentieth century. (Wikipedia)

    There are some lovely images there.
    My only other comment is that it's a shame the first is populated by people in modern dress - it needs a few gents in top hats and ladies in bussles

      That would certainly have added a note of authenticity until they stepped on the escalator.
