Summer

from Powerhouse Museum

  • Rabbitfoot said:
    This statue depicting Summer was placed in Sydney's Centennial Park in c1890 - it was a marble statue on a sanstone base and was probably sourced from Italy by Job Hanson: www.daao.org.au/main/read/3063. Summer was originally located in the Rose Garden, but was removed from the park by the 1970s.

    Highranger Ha ha! Centennial Park Reservoir No.1 (covered) (WS0022), completed 1898. The Australian Town and Country Journal of 22/10/1898 p.10 has a photo taken a few metres to the left of this image at the same time, judging from the vegetation etc. - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/71319284 . The pavilion is gone; just a brick entrance is there. See more details on the Sydney Water heritage site, which is not at all accurate in details, compared to contemporary newspaper articles.

    Much to ornate a handle to grip, lets try that again with a more agricultural design. www.sydneywater.com.au/Sustainability/OurHeritageAssets/_...

    Highranger Yes, away with Victorian frippery! The Sydney Water site mentions that - "Circa 1930, the Tennis Pavilion [there were tennis courts on top of the reservoir for a while], designed by architect Howard Jouriand, was relocated to Lane Cove National Park and it remained there until c.1955."

    beachcomber australia The Victorian one was much nicer, but I guess it succombed to rust. The Department of Victorian Preservation was out voted by the Department of Myopia. I wonder if their grandchildren followed in their footsteps and used the same the long term principles toward the inspiration behind the Darling Harbour re-development. ;-)
