NSW Government House was built between 1837 and 1845 in the Gothic Revival style. The porte cochère at the front, providing shelter for carriages, was built in 1873.
I particularly liked the verandah along the eastern side, and so did many of the visitors who took advantage of the raffia and cane chairs to relax for a chat or a catch up with the Sunday paper. There are expansive views across the gardens to the harbour.
Wow, that is an impressive building! A nice garden too.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous building.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, looks like an old university building. Love that lawn! How do they keep it so green in your summer heat?
ReplyDeleteYou know - I have never been into the grounds or the building. Must rectify that.
ReplyDeleteIs this the one located near Sydney Opera House?
