Laboratory Tap basement Bar at PyrmontA single laboratory tap extends from a tiled wall, its surface marked by corrosion from years of exposure. Below it, a ceramic sink bowl carries dark stains built up over decades of student use. The fixture sat in one of the classroom blocks at Macquarie Boys Technology High School in Rydalmere, a post war government campus that operated from 1957 until its closure in 2009. Part of the Macquarie Boys Technology High series.
