    This was front page news with two photos in the Sydney Morning Herald of 2/6/1950. The photos must have been the previous day.

    281 buildings were ordered from the UK (for 1 million pounds) and they were guaranteed for 90 years. I wonder how many are still around?

    beachcomber australia Well spotted. As the article says: "Fourteen men almost completely erected a prefabricated school at Daceyville yesterday, in seven hours." 01/06/1950 was a Thursday.

    Quite a few of the primary schools around the north shore have some of those aluminium-clad buildings.

    There are now many examples in Sydney where one "semi" has "gone up". The results are rarely attractive. I never realised that in Daceyville they were designed that way from the start!
