Structures, Sculptures, Stories and Secrets
Paperback
Publication Date: 20/10/2011
Building Sydneys History takes fifty of Sydneys most notable buildings and structures and tells the stories of how, when and why they were built, and includes stories of what has happened in and to them since construction. The collection ranges across a wide selection of structures, including the Harbour Bridge, Old Government House and the Opera House, but also including such usually little-remarked structures such as the ferry terminals, Warringah Mall, the Mortuary Temple and Eveleigh Railway Yards. Each buildings story is a fascinating insight into the whys and wherefores of its history, and each chapter can be dipped into and read as a stand alone piece. The collection, however, also serves to present a wonderful new perspective on Sydneys history: how and why the city physically developed the way it did. Richly illustrated in full contemporary colour and historic black and white photography, this is a book that every Sydney household will want to own.
