Summary
Black and white photographic negative of the Kodak Australasia Pty Ltd building at 379-381 George Street Sydney, New South Wales, circa 1940 - 1954. This street view shows neighbouring shops and pedestrians and vehicles out front.
This building was demolished circa 1955 to build a new, modern Kodak retail facility in its place.
This image is part of the Kodak collection of products, promotional materials, photographs and working life artefacts collected from Kodak Australasia in 2005, when the Melbourne manufacturing plant at Coburg closed down.
Kodak manufactured and distributed a wide range of photographic products to Australasia, such as film, paper, chemicals, cameras and miscellaneous equipment. Its client base included amateur and professional photographers, as well as specialist medical and graphic art professionals who used photography, x-ray and other imaging techniques.
