Talk on Victorian Italianate Architecture
Event description
A talk on Victorian Italianate architecture will be held on Sunday February 18th from 1.30pm to 3.30pm at Strathfield Library.
The speaker is Mark Sabolch who will be speaking on the ‘Italianate’ architectural style. Mark is from the inner west's Ashfield and District Historical Society and has been studying the Italianate style in detail for the last half decade and recently visited England to investigate early examples of the style. The "Italianate" architectural style is one of the dominant styles for substantial Victorian period dwellings throughout Sydney. Mark will explore some fascinating questions: Where does the Italianate style come from? How have our places been influenced by English traditions? How did the Italianate style transition into the Federation style that shortly became so popular in Australia after the Victorian period?
This event is open to all members of the public and is supported by Strathfield Council. An afternoon tea will be served.
This event is free. Please notify in advance if you need to cancel your attendance. Numbers assist with catering for the event.
