Fenton And Surrounds
Fenton and surrounds is a heritage-listed house at 8 Albert Street, Edgecliff, New South Wales, Edgecliff, Municipality of Woollahra, New South Wales, Australia. The house was designed by Robin Dods in 1919. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999. The property is privately owned. History The site was originally part of the Orielton Estate, which had been built in Edgecliff in the 1860s. Following subdivision in 1918, Dods purchased the largest of the 4 allotments and built his most important house. It drew on his years of practice and, as his own house, it was presumably an opportunity to realise much more of his vision. Whether Dods knew Fenton would be his last house is uncertain, but during its construction he became progressively weaker and eventually, around the time of its completion, had ceased work altogether. The home was passed down to Dod's son and pioneering Australian pediatrician, Sir Lorimer Dods, Lorimer Fenton Dods. H ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Houses In Sydney
A house is a single-unit residential building. It may range in complexity from a rudimentary hut to a complex structure of wood, masonry, concrete or other material, outfitted with plumbing, electrical, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.Schoenauer, Norbert (2000). ''6,000 Years of Housing'' (rev. ed.) (New York: W.W. Norton & Company). Houses use a range of different roofing systems to keep precipitation such as rain from getting into the dwelling space. Houses may have doors or locks to secure the dwelling space and protect its inhabitants and contents from burglars or other trespassers. Most conventional modern houses in Western cultures will contain one or more bedrooms and bathrooms, a kitchen or cooking area, and a living room. A house may have a separate dining room, or the eating area may be integrated into another room. Some large houses in North America have a recreation room. In traditional agriculture-oriented societies, domestic animals such as c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
