Mt Errington Childcare Centre

MT Errington Childcare Centre is a fabulous example of how an old Victorian building can be converted for modern usage! Drive or walk north on the Old Pacific highway to view this building.

Red Brick Classic

The Red Brick Classic is both mocked and respected as an Australian housing style.



This local example is at 42 Dural Street Hornsby and currently for sale.
I normally don't use real estate agent shots but this one was quite good and fairly accurate and taken at an angel that shows classics features of this style.White paint on white frames, the red tile roof, small but distinctive porch, oh and if you check the real estate ads, yes it really is a reasonable walking distance from the station and shops. Another feature of this style is good solid construction and sound brickwork. 


Some people think the red brick classic is dull however I rarely hear complaints about shonky building with this style or pest infestations. 


If you're in the market to buy a house take a look or just take a walk anyway and study a classic australian suburban style.
