The Darlington Centre and Forum Restaurant are a conference centre and event space on the University of Sydney campus, in the inner city suburb of Darlington. The Darlington Centre is a restored 1880s house, formerly the director's residence for the adjacent former Blind Institute. The Forum Restaurant was built in the adjacent space in 2002, with twelve 19th century stone gateposts, excavated from the site, defining the gardens and lawns. A couple of cranes dominate the skyline from new developments nearby.

Very cool looking gate posts. - Your link takes you to a different photo though.
ReplyDeleteIda, the first link is for both the Darlington Centre and the Forum Restaurant. These buildings are now part of the university which is the second link. The Darlington Centre was the house of the director of the adjacent former Blind Institute Building which is the final link.
DeleteGottcha, thanks for clairfying.
DeleteIt sure looks like an interesting place.
ReplyDeleteThe stone pillars are neat, I am glad they saved the building for new purposes. Cranes show how vital the city is ... Mixing old and new.
ReplyDeleteMy eyes go right to the cranes---and the sky!
ReplyDeleteSky over Phoenix
Cranes are everywhere Jim.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful!
ReplyDeletenice sky.
ReplyDeleteSuch a contrast between the cranes (development) and of an historical Darling Center. Great shot!
