  | 1919 opened 23rd September (from Current Accounts January 1962).
1920-45 This photo is in the National Library of Australia collection and was taken some time between 1920 and 1945. It may be in the Gladesville/Ryde area as other photos in the series are from there. John Beer visited the site in May 2008 and believes the cladding on the present site may be Gladesville 215 Victoria Rd. www.MYrpDATA.com clearly shows how CBC GLADESVILLE building is positioned on block and how front facia is positioned hiding things like eaves, although John Ness feels that the bricks appear to be newer in the colour photos and he cannot identify any eaves on this photo.
