The glorious building is in Elizabeth Bay, Sydney. It is Adereham Hall dating from 1934 and designed by Gordon McKinnon & Sons.
Often a building will have one sunburst motif, front and centre, on the facade but Adereham Hall has a wonderful geometric Aztec or Mayan 'hieroglyph' instead and sunbursts just about everywhere else. At the top of each column and, in a different style, under each of the three top-floor windows. The later style sunburst is then repeated above the main entrance.

lovely, I could handle living there!
ReplyDeleteI suppose it would be all right, with Sydney city & harbour views from those top floors. :-)
ReplyDeleteEven better close up to it. Wonderful example of streamline moderne.
ReplyDeleteYes, a great looking building.
