The Old School House…The Old Post Office…The Old Granary – often the only clue to a building’s former life is its name.

Superb examples of traditional homes in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs are the Victorian terraces or town houses. The idea of town homes was adopted by the English in the 19th Century when it was customary for wealthy families to own both a country house and a house in town to which they and their servants decamped for the social season. You can now find these preserved gems scattered around Sydney’s Cosmopolitan areas such as Paddington, Bondi and Darlinghurst to name a few.
