The Old House

The Old House sits on a large block of land at the intersection of two arterial roads in one of the most populated suburbs in Australia. You might notice its elegant Victorian lines, if you are not already distracted by the 1960s red brick façade, which obliterates once beautiful verandas.

The Old House is more than its façade, the walls themselves, both old and new, hold stories. In looking at the Old House we explore heritage and immigration, concrete and aesthetics, the impact of people on architecture and the impact of architecture on people.
