The many transformations of 262 Liverpool Street, lying at the corner of Forbes Street in Darlinghurst, reflect the long and layered history of Sydney. Now named Yirranma Place and the headquarters of the Paul Ramsay Foundation, it's a place that has been constantly recreated.

Historian Alana Piper takes episodes from the history of Yirranma Place and its surrounds to provide a window into Sydney's past, particularly the city's experiences of power and hardship. Bringing together local and social history, this visually rich exploration of a corner in Darlinghurst combines deep research with revealing stories.
