Arncliffe, retirement village

These bay windows are part of the Macquarie Lodge retirement village apartments, along Fairview Street in the southern suburb of Arncliffe. They were on the grounds of heritage-listed property known as Dappeto, built in 1885. The Salvation Army purchased the property in 1917 and operated a children's home here until 1969. In 1971 they built a nursing home surrounded by a retirement village. There are plans now to demolish this building and replace it with a new apartment building.
