Millers Point, Richmond Villa

    I wonder if we crossed paths the day you took this? This is the area we work in everyday, and I never tire of looking at this wonderful building.

    So love the roof feature above each second floor window. The use of white adds a stunning magic touch to this lovely building.

    That's a very substantial house. Barring an earthquake, it should stand for many generations.
