Description

Black and white photograph of Pitt Street West, looking east from Dougall Avenue; the sidewalk runs diagonally from the bottom right of the photo, up toward the top left; part way up the sidewalk a girl (perhaps a teenager) and a little boy (toddler) are walking away from the camera, but their heads are turned to face back toward the camera; houses are visible on both sides of the street and there is a row of trees between the sidewalk and street.

History
