Then & Now: Holtermann (3/5)

This is the vicarage of Christ Church, Lavender Bay, a church of the Anglican Communion. The church itself was built in 1872, but it was surrounded by trees and, at this stage in my walk, I lacked the energy to think laterally. So, here is a nice shot prepared earlier - by someone else.

It is a beautiful 'campus', in an ideal setting. Once again, I link you to Holtermann's Panorama and you will find Christ Church on the border between Panels 4 and 5. You can see the vicarage. It is totally within Panel 5, and in the immediate foreground. To end today, here is a non-Holtermann gem, to put all this into perspective. This shot is from the State Library of NSW, and is post-1875. It is taken from Milsons Point looking up the Lavender Bay ridge. Christchurch is there, towards the right hand side, midway up the ridge, with a lot of upside down Vs in its design.
