Federation House

Haberfield (Sydney), Australia

A beautiful hexagonal conservatory is a feature of this Haberfield house. Conservatories were usually attached to the house and were used for displays of exotic indoor plants. The flowing design of rosebuds on leadlight windows, shows a strong Art Nouveau influence. The house is built of brown brick on a solid sandstone foundation. The slate roof has a decorative terracotta finial and the vivid green tiles add importance to the entrance steps.
