Tempe, house
Tempe House sits on the southern shore of the Cooks River, in the southern suburb of Wolli Creek. It was designed by John Verge and built by Alexander Brodie Spark in 1836 in the Georgian style. It was named after the 'Vale of Tempe', a beautiful valley in ancient Greek legend, set at the foot of Mount Olympus in Greece.

ReplyDeleteIt was renovated a few years back when the apartment deveoplment behind it was built.
