Paddington, school (Theme Day: Teach)
Paddington Public School is located along Oxford Street, in the eastern suburb of Paddington. This heritage listed building was designed by G A Mansfield and built in 1856 in the Victorian Italianate architectural style. This is one of the two additional wings which were designed by W E Kemp and built in 1893 in the Federation Free Classical architectural style.
It's a beauty, which is to be expected with that architectural style.
ReplyDeleteI like the narrow windows, the yellow brick, and the spine across the peak of the roof. Nice photo of a lovely building.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, old, and still in use. A lot of teaching has gone on inside.
ReplyDeleteA beauty of a building. Imagine the stories that you would hear if the walls could talk.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the high school I went to---grade school (1 through 8) on lower floor and high school on upper floor----and yes people we had to walk up stairs back in the day--LOL
ReplyDeleteAre those solar panels at the foot of the building?
ReplyDeleteNo, just regular windows and roof tiles.
DeleteA perfect place to illustrate "teach!"
ReplyDeleteYes, this is what schools used to look like. Sturdy and formidable looking to contain all the important learning taking place. Very nice.
