In prime Elizabeth Street Mall, central Hobart, sits the original five storey “Kodak House” store, currently for sale! The ultimate trophy house for the avid Kodak collector.
Around the corner in Collins Street sits the more modern digital store which is also closed too.

Wonderfully photographed! It’s a most impressive structure.

Thanks Belinda, I think it goes mostly unnoticed by the masses but I’ve always loved it. I hope the exterior gets preserved or restored with the Kodak style.

It’s a beautiful building. It would be really great if a photographer bought it and turned part of it into a gallery and a photography museum. 🙂

I’d love to buy it, the building would be perfect for that, it’s very deep and narrow. I wonder how a go fund me page would go?

That company has a long history all over the world. What a prize the building could be for the right persons.

I’ve always admired it’s fading facade over the years John, who would have thought Kodak would fade away! I hope the purchaser respects its history and maintains the exterior.

It never really crossed my mind until now, but they were one of the first to produce an affordable camera for the masses and also one of the first to produce a consumer digital camera, the D40.

There’s a name that has been around for decades, but is rarely thought of anymore.

Ironically Kodak launched one of the first available consumer digital cameras, the D40 but digital was their eventual downfall.

Indeed a great looking building, nostalgic, but the photos are also nostalgic, and I mean especially the colors, they are great! Especially the photo that shows the street, as if photographed in the 50s with real Kodak film. Great Tone !

Thanks Marc, I took these in the early evening and tried to convey a vintage film look in editing. The colour of the building has faded over the years so I brought that out a little without being over zealous with the saturation. Handheld with the Pen-F, 14-150 zoom.

Thanks, the more I use DxO the more I like it. Still finishing off in Photoshop but almost at the stage now where I’m happy with the DxO edits.

I like to think that George Eastman would be thrilled with your pictures as well as with that building (which has got to be as far from Rochester NY as one can get).

Thanks Sandra, I’ve been meaning to shoot this building for some time and didn’t know it was for sale. I was intending to shoot it in daylight but went for a quick night walk while waiting for my daughter.
