Sydney Grammar School
Sydney Grammar School is a private high school for boys that is located at the edge of the city, but technically located in the inner city suburb of Darlinghurst. This heritage sandstone building is located in College Street, next door to the Australian Museum. The Sydney College was founded here in 1830 and the centre block was designed by Edward Hallen in the Victorian Academic Classical style and completed in 1832. It was taken over by the University of Sydney and extensions were made to the north and south, designed by Edmund Blacket and completed in 1857.
Thanks for visiting my site. It gave me the opportunity to see yours. I've been to Sidney in 2000 but memory is getting fuzzy. I had a great time and loved travelling in Australia. Let's stay in touch.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit. Great photo of this Sydney Grammar School. I have been several times in Sydney,but haven't seen. I was in Cronulla in 2000, 2002 and 2005.I had friends living there.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
This is a good view of the building that each Grammarian knows as "Big School". It was the building that first housed The University of Sydney from enactment until the Camperdown site was usable.
