"Hillsborough" is a terrace house located along Rochford Street, in the inner city suburb of Erskineville. This heritage listed house was built around 1884 in the Victorian Filigree architectural style.
I am always thrilled when the name of the home, in this case Hillsborough Terrace, is inscribed in the centrally located pediment. I cannot see if the date was also inscribed, but that too adds to the historical significance.
We have a Hillsborough in North Carolina. It's full of contrasts - everything from trailer parks to historic homes. Take care, have a great week, and know that I always appreciate your visits to our weekly photo link-up at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/
Hi Jim — long time no see. I was away from my blog for quite some time, and I miss it and the friends I made online. I'm back, and I hope I'm back to stay. I always enjoyed your photos. Kay www.unfittie.blogspot.com
Lovely house.
ReplyDeleteWonderful metalwork on the balcony, Jim!

ReplyDeleteI can't tell whether it's on there in this shot. I'll have to check next time I go to nearby Newtown.
DeleteIt looks lovely...and it looks like it has a lot of history behind it.
ReplyDeleteNice. Have a good Tuesday
ReplyDeletemuch love...
Victorian Filigree looks like it would be very much at home in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Have a blessed Ruby Tuesday.

Reminds me of a house you'd find in New Orleans. or maybe Savannah, Georgia. What a great name to tack to the house at well.
