Thursday Doors, Sept 12 2024

Thanks to Dan for hosting this every week. You can find him on https://nofacilities.com/

This is the front door to The Powerhouse. Formerly a power station on the banks of the Brisbane river, it now serves as a venue for art exhibitions, music, food festivals and stage events.

Among the galleries, venues and eateries, are the electrical engineering relics of its day.


Below: The front door to Messina in West End, one of Brisbane’s biggest and most popular Italian Ice Cream parlours. Known for serving over 40 flavours of the good stuff. Hard to go past it!


Next, below is the front door to an abandoned branch of the ASB Bank in Auckland, New Zealand. This Art Deco-ish looking place is where my daughter and her husband chose to be married on a special day in February 2017.

Below, still in New Zealand, a doorway to one of the Chinese miners cottages from the gold mining days in the 1860’s.


Thanks for visiting!

  1. These are great photos. I love seeing art displayed in former industrial settings. Our daughter had a photo in a show at The Wireworks Gallery, and the former wire mill was an amazing place to wander around. I would love to walk through an old electrical station.
