Land Titles Office

The Land Titles Office is located along Prince Albert Road, off Queens Square. This sandstone office building was designed by Walter Liberty Vernon and Edward Herbert Farmer and built in 1913 in the Neo-Gothic architectural style. 'Land and Property Information' is a state government department housed here which is responsible for the land title registry which defines the legal ownership and boundaries of land parcels throughout New South Wales.

  2. It is fun to imagine the people working on this amazing structure with all its "extra detail". Buildings now are so much simpler.

  3. It's a very nice building. While I know where it is, I have never really 'seen' it.

  7. Love Gothic architecture, the sandstone softens the edges somewhat but it still remains very imposing. Thanks for visiting Normandy today!

  8. This is quite a building. It would look at home on the campus of Yale University.
