I am looking for information on the neoclassical buildings inscribed on a 
pair of whales teeth. Does anyone know what the buildings are on the 
attached images? 



The whales teeth also have 'Emu' '1850' and 'TB' inscribed on them. 'Emu' 
was a Tasmanian barque of 380 tons. It was ordered by Thomas Brown ("TB") 
a Hobart Town merchant. Designed by Degraves and built by John Gray in 
Hobart Town. Launched March 8 1848. 

The buildings are not from Tasmania. The vessel made one trip to London so 
the buildings may well be from there. 
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Best wishes
Peta
