Strathfield, Santa Sabina College

Santa Sabina College is a Catholic, Dominican, private school located along The Boulevarde, in the western suburb of Strathfield. The Santa Sabina Convent building, now the administration building, was designed by Sheerin and Hennessy and built in 1894 in the Dutch Renaissance architectural style.

  4. There's a definite religious feel to the collage Joe, before I read your words I thought it might be a church.

  7. Quite unusual architecture Jim. I'm guessing those little green domes at the top are to protect the bells ?? maybe.

  8. I have seen plenty of the Dutch Renaissance architectural style in other countries, but not very often in Australia. Santa Sabina College looks very proud.
