  • This photo essay is devoted to Rosebery's original houses.


  • Rosebery came to Federation housing a little later than Haberfield and Randwick, but there are still good examples of classic style there, but most have been renovated away from the original style.
  • These are my picks of the the original houses, most probably built in the years 1914-1920

Should be a heritage item, but there are some quibbles.

  • eg fencing - are the front fences of brick masonry to match the house?
  • The chimney doesn't seem as tall as it should be?
  • but still a very handsome house! Has beautiful windows and detailing.
