The Maiden Memorial Pavilion is a sandstone pavilion located close to Mrs Macquaries Road in the Royal Botanic Gardens. It was designed by Government Architect R.M.S. Wells and constructed in 1929. It is dedicated to Joseph Henry Maiden, Government Botanist and former Director of the Botanic Gardens .
Lovely. The style is much like park buildings here built in the same time period. So nice.
ReplyDeleteI like pavilions like this which appear scattered through our city parks, Jim. Especially when made from sandstone.
ReplyDeleteThe sandstone pavilions are beautiful and particularly suited to Sydney. Especially in places like the Botanic Gardens where you also see naturally exposed sandstone.
ReplyDeleteI like pavilions but often times I found it always abandoned. Good thing this one is well kept. ^_^

Great looking place.
ReplyDeleteA sturdy construction built to last. It's about the size of some of the "studio" apartments they build nowadays.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture. Have a fabulous week.
