Adelaide once had an East-End Market, complete with 19 century facades. Now, it has been redeveloped as a residential precinct, complete with eateries, pubs and interesting retail outlets. Some thought has gone into this development to marry the old with the new.
This photo, taken from the East Parklands on East Terrace, shows the east End Apartments and the beautiful old market facades.

Lovely building, really charming.

Yet another beautiful building, MB. You really are blessed with them. I particularly love the totally over the top rococo faience work on the pediment.
Cool!
I love it when they try and make a new building look and feel colonial..and they succede! Nice capture, the with of the road is really inviting :P
Sir,
The reason why they change the names is pretty simple, darn politics! This may sound harsh and even be a little contraversial, but the political parties here are very regonalised. They are into cast and community based politics. Therefore, they project the local language as more important than even the national language (Hindi) or English. Thats why the names are changed, to please the uneducated rural masses , who are a majority of the voters.
Sometimes they use old names, sometimes they just twist the names around a little bit to sound local! Crazy stuff, they even change names of roads! http://www.chennaidailyphoto.com/2006/04/rukumini-lakshmipathi.html

A beautiful image to show us the marriage of old and the modern one in architecture
Lovely place. The old building gives the area a small town look!
I like the old facade and also like the modern but there is a big contrast between the two of them.
It is a nice photograph. I looked at the large version and saw that you drive through the front part to other buildings behind. That is different.
Thank you too for your visits.

That link, though interesting, is not the same thing at all M. Benaut!
Hope you're both enjoying better weather; it's pouring here.
