This image depicts a view of Brisbane City Hall, centre right, in Adelaide Street, Brisbane. The Hall was built in 1920. This photograph forms part of a panoramic view of the city that Hood shot in 1930. The panorama was published in the Melbourne newspaper 'The Australasian' on 15 November 1930 on page 28.
