    This is my all-time favourite Sydney architecture - late Victorian, terraced, sandstone and lots of lacework.

      I'm a big fan of the iron lacework too and I really like the bull nose awning.

    An interesting house Jim. Drummoyne sounds rather Celtic?

      The first estate in this area was called Drummoyne Park after the owner's family home at Drummoyne on Clyde in Scotland.
