Bexley, house
"Dunvegan" is a historic house located off Harrow Road, in the southern suburb of Bexley. This mansion was built in the late 19th century in the Victorian Italianate architectural style. It has been somewhat altered with the removal of an upper storey veranda but retains most of its original features. It was once part of a large estate which fronted Albyn Street and has now been incorporated into the Scalabrini Village, a retirement village formed in 1969 by the Scalabrinian Fathers, an Italian missionary order.
Beautiful. I would love to see the inside.
ReplyDeleteLooks in excellent condition.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully kept conditions!
ReplyDeleteI don't mind too much that the upper storey veranda was removed. There is a ton of decorative detail from the lower storey veranda and from the garden pressing right up to the edges of the house.
ReplyDeleteIn any case, the Italian qualities of the house are even better displayed than they would have been, had the upper storey been covered up. Lovely place.
Excellent shot of this well-maintained historic mansion, Jim. I too would love to see inside it.
ReplyDeleteReally looks as if standing in the UK ! Must be beautiful inside.
ReplyDeleteGattina, a lot of the early settlers in Australia tried to recreate a bit of Britain, so they built houses and created gardens similar to those back home.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - but I thought there was something not quite right with the upper floor.
ReplyDeleteI like the mellow yellow.
