Introduction to Albury City Library Museum


This is a view of the more promonant facade of this building, note the clever use of space frames inplace of columns. This element is borrowed from a well known train bridge from the area that crosses the Murray River linking Albury and Wodonga (good symbolism). The typical suspended floor detail seen later is taken from the right hand side of this image.
