Sydney Federation Classics


Two of Sydney's classicly beautiful early Federation Houses

[Previous post: 'Halcyon' - Ashbury Jewel Next post: ]

Both these houses are designed in Federation Queen Anne Style, with exposed rafters, red brick walls, turret or 'gablet' and decoration. 
  • Both also show some Victorian style, the first in the use of indoor columns, the second in the interior decoration, chimney style and verandah frieze.
  • Art Nouveau influence is limited to the leadlight glass and ceiling decoration, but is unmistakably a Federation glass design feature.
