The Society of Friends Meeting House is located along Devonshire Street, in the inner city suburb of Surry Hills. This heritage listed building was designed by architect Alfred Allen Junior, who was a member of the Society, and built in 1903 in the Federation Free Classical style. The Religious Society of Friends is a group with Christian roots that began in England in the 1650s with members called "Friends" or "Quakers".

I like that style. There is one such group here.
ReplyDeleteThe Federation Free Classical style was an interesting architectural style to choose for the Friends Meeting House - domestic size but with a very elaborate front.
ReplyDeleteNice little building.
ReplyDeleteFriends enter the shadows, and emerge in the Light!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very interesting looking building
ReplyDeleteThe Federation Free Classical style architecture was an interesting choice for the Society of Friends. But I would plant shrubs in front of the veranda.
