Balmain East, Waterview Wharf Workshops
The Waterview Wharf Workshops are located on the shore of Mort Bay Nicholson Street, in the inner west suburb of Balmain East. The workshops were built in 1900 in the Edwardian architectural style by the Adelaide Steamship Company for ship maintenance and a repair base for their fleet. They were sold in 1964 and from 1979 to 1986 the buildings were inhabited by artists. They were then restored and converted into studio spaces for creative professional businesses and the site is now heritage listed by the National Trust.

ReplyDeleteThere is a long and proud history of painting buildings in bright colours, especially on islands, rivers and harbours. Have a look at 10 Enchanting Cities with Colourful Houses http://www.touropia.com/cities-with-colorful-houses/
Very interesting, Hels. These buildings had been painted a pale cream/yellow until recently but the bright colours really make them stand out.
DeleteLovely scenery with colorful houses and in large panaorama, those very tall buildings! Lovely mix!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of jig saw puzzle I just finished.
