A Walk Through London Streets in Search of the Origin of our Victorian Italianate Legacy; a presentation by Mark Sabolch
August 18 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Registration for this event is closed.
In this pictorial presentation Mark will explore the varied examples of the Italianate architectural style as seen in London.
The Italianate style was very popular and versatile. Taking in the housing forms seen around Regents Park, Belgravia, Pimlico and Bloomsbury just after the turn of the nineteenth century and evolving as new estates extended into the Victorian growth areas in London’s south-east and north-west suburbs.
To what extent are the Victorian Italianate house styles we see in the Inner West derived from London housing? Mark will explore how the Victorian Italianate style evolved and consider possible translations from London to Sydney. This is a combined event of Ashfield and District Historical Society and Marrickville Heritage Society.
