Victorian Architecture
Alf Stephens and Sons were local builders. They built an array of homes and public buildings in the Southern Highlands and (like us) in Canberra too. Their quintessential style was a mix of Arts and Crafts and Federation. These styles were both popular in the early 20th Century. Their residential work is instantly recognisable. Their homes are charming and character-filled. Local Builders, Alf, Canberra, Highlander, White Lead, Historic Homes, Quintessential, Early 20th Century, White Painting

Bong Bong St, Bowral – 1900. We can still see many of these Victorian buildings today. The earlier timber structures (and many of the Victorian era verandas) are now gone.

Bowral’s Grand Hotel, Bowral – Originally constructed in 1888. Partial restoration and reconstruction was done in 1990. Sadly, the verandahs which gave this building a clear rhythm and point of entry, were not reinstated. Pub Decor, Reconstruction, Grand Hotel, Partial, Entry

Shopfront on Argyle St, Moss Vale before and after verandah removal. Note the original doors upstairs remain, though there is now no place to access. The original verandahs on much of the streets stretched right across to the kerb, providing shade and protection from rain. Upstairs, Argyle, Moss, Rain, Access

Over time the early bark huts made way for timber or stone cottages. Bark roofs were removed and replaced with wooden shingles. These were later roofed over with corrugated iron. We can construct an entire ‘family tree’ of Australian building materials over time. As industry (like Brickworks in Bowral and the Ironworks in Mittagong) took over, so did these more processed building products. Today, there are so many innovative options available, it would be impossible to list them all. Architecture House, Stone Cottages, Building Products, Make Way, Brickwork, Entire Family
