This monument is located at Foundation Park, off Gloucester Walk at the Rocks. Foundation Park features a collection of housing remains in the middle of this historic area. The ruins of eight houses that were built into a sandstone cliff face from 1874 to 1878 were transformed into a park in 1972. This monument demonstrates the size and shape of the houses and their features.
powerful monument

Great post for sky-watch!
ReplyDeleteFascinating monument, Jim, and a terrific capture! And your blue, blue skies are always beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI guess to a certain extent the homes would have been naturally insulated ... But not a lot of space.
ReplyDeleteI like the blue and orange in this capture Jim.
Interesting!
ReplyDeleteRather eerie, I think, but interesting!
ReplyDeleteThat is interesting.
ReplyDeleteI like the composition and what a beautiful blue sky.
ReplyDeleteI love those bright red doors with the depth of the sky's blue... beautiful photo!
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen this. Is it new (probably not given my powers of observance). Must have a look next time I'm down there.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how new this is but I first noticed it earlier in the year. I don't know if I had ever walked down to Rocks Square from Gloucester Walk so it may have been there longer.
DeleteHistory is always interesting!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for recycling remains into a monument park. Like the composition too.
ReplyDeleteInteresting, an open air model of a house built into sandstone
ReplyDeleteFascinating monument and wonderful contrast. Thanks for sharing!

Now that's unusual. It looks so strange to see such a neat incomplete house.
ReplyDeleteReally interesting and a cool capture :)
ReplyDeleteReally curious.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting !
ReplyDeletei have never seen such รก "house" before. Great!
At first sight I thought it was construction or storm damage but them I read the description and discovered it's an exhibit - curious and interesting.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting monument! Cool shot! Happy skywatching!
ReplyDeleteThe red door looks more like 1970s than 1870s.
ReplyDeleteWhat an odd thing.
ReplyDeleteIt is. It's like contemporary art meets heritage.
DeleteNice shot of an interesting site.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend.
Interesting monument to remind us of the past.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, like the composition!
ReplyDeleteLove the shot and am intrigued by the description. I'll have to investigate that.
ReplyDeleteCombination of art and history...
