Alongside the pier is a sailing boat and a tugboat. Railway tracks run along the timber covered jetty which also has large wooden mooring posts and oil fuelled streetlights, erected in 1884. On the Albany waterfront can be seen signs such as: .REW ROBINSON & Co.; and: MY PET. Drew, Robinson & Co. was a major Albany business which was formed when John Robinson of Mckail & Co. joined with Charles Drew. The street running parallel to the shoreline is Stirling Terrace. The three storeyed building with verandas and two gables was built in 1870 on the corner of Stirling Terrace and Spencer Street. It housed the Albany Post office, Court House and Customs Office until 1898 when the court house moved to a new building.53710208 bytesphotographb&w13.4cm x 20cmimage/tiffen-AUThis image is provided for research purposes only and must not be reproduced without the prior permission of the Archives Program, Australian National University.Photographsviewstown viewstownsharbourssailing boatstugboatsbuildings, structures & establishmentsjetties & wharvesrailway linesfunnels (ships)mastsmen's clothingstreetlightscommercial buildingsDrew, Robinson & Co.
