Domestic Architecture – From the New South Wales State Library Online Collections

This is a State Library of NSW dip into domestic architecture — verandahs, porte-cochères, Federation gables, the sort of house that ate a hillside and a wool cheque. The filenames already wander: Ailsa at Neutral Bay, Carrara at Rose Bay, then Brie Brie and Brocellande at Toorak, Melbourne. So these are houses from the Library’s pictorial collections, not “only New South Wales.” Sydney still dominates the eye, but the folder is a federation of taste, not a council boundary.
