HISTORIC SYDNEY MANSION.
[Sketch of the house, signed by the artist]
"Bomera," a picturesque stone mansion (now an apartment house) at the foot of Wylde Street, Potts Point, was built for William McQuade in 1858, and was the home of the McQuade family until 1883. Afterwards it was the official residence of Commodore Erskine during the period when he commanded the Royal Naval Squadron in Sydney. (Sketch by Mr. Albert N. Clarke.)
