Emu Brewery in 1938, SLWA 016927PD (in Facebook).
James Stokes started the Albion brewery in 1836. He later renamed it the Stanley, and it was subsquently taken over by John Maxwell Ferguson and Mumme. Those were the breweries that preceded the Emu Brewery, a distinctive art-deco building at the foot of Spring Street (the name of which indicates the reason for them being there).
The photo (cropped, taken by Alfred Hawes Stone, colourised by Murray Barnard), shows the Stanley Brewery at left, the Pensioners Barracks centre, and the Bishop's House, right.
