Glebe, cafe

Badde Manors is a well known cafe on the corner of Glebe Point Road and Francis Street, in the inner city suburb of Glebe. Various artworks adorn the exterior and interior of the former Glebe Hotel which was built in 1864 in the Victorian architectural style, although it has been altered. The cafe is not only known for its eclectic menu but is also for its community involvement with donations to local school and university special events, charitable organisations and being actively engaged in issues that promote the local community. The smaller Gelato shop in the same building is currently for sale.

  6. Quite a simple building style, very different from what we normally think of as mid Victorian architecture.

  9. Some of the older structures are better than new. They have so much history that needs to be saved.

  11. The whimsical vine going up the wall adds to the general charm of the scene. Hope we can see the interior murals later. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
