Arncliffe, pre-school
This pre-school building on the corner of Forest Road and Farrar Street in the southern suburb of Arncliffe. It was built in 1909 in the Federation style, originally as the Arncliffe Fire Station, when Farrar Street was then known as Gordon Street. The fire station closed in 1945 when duties were transferred to Rockdale Fire Station, which had opened in 1938. A new Arncliffe Fire Station was built in West Botany Street in 2006.
That's a neat pre-school by the side of the road.
ReplyDeleteYou have definitely covered Sydney with your unlimited version of photography. Thanks Jim.
ReplyDeleteIs there a park or playground in the back?
ReplyDeleteYes, ProdigalWife. There's a large courtyard and play area at the back.
ReplyDeleteThe Arncliffe Fire Station was built in 1909 when the original Arncliffe Fire Brigade was established. It was on the corner of Forest Road and Gordon Street, Arncliffe. The current Arncliffe Fire Station is occupied by the former Rockdale Fire Brigade.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Janette. I'll add that info to my post. It seems Gordon Street became Farrar Street at some time down the track.
