| It used to be a three-storey mansion but has settled, over the decades, into being a derelict old house. There are some items of note, some detritus worth saving. Such as these small lead-lights, but little else. The crumbling stables out the back excited me more. |

| Word-of-mouth has it that the block cost the developer $11 million. He must have known there was a heritage order on it. But he is plugging away at the council. There is little to recommend the structure, except that the town-houses that replace it will last less than 50 years. Everything is built to decay nowadays. |

Is someone saving those windows, at least?
ReplyDeleteExtraordinarily beautiful
ReplyDeleteThe glass is pretty, though.
ReplyDeleteI imagine the job will go to a scxrap-man with a junk-yard. There is a very nice stair-well, too.
ReplyDeleteI would have those windows in my house any day.
ReplyDeleteWonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love your finds, the beautiful details and the window.
It is not common to have this here in Norway. But I have seen soooo many colourful doors with similar windows.... in the streets and avenues in England. I just wish I could take two of them with me home.
Gun, windows like this are not uncommon in houses in Australia: Federation houses, and art-deco houses. I suspoect it is a tradition we have inheriuted from our English beginnings.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful. My place in the southern suburbs has leadlight windows like these.
