Heritage architecture in Bunbury

The project for Project Flickr this week was "windows and doors".

There are some lovely old homes in Bunbury in what is known as the "tree street" area. So I decided to make a mosaic of some lovely doors and windows and entrances. They have such beautiful styling, detailing and warm welcoming feel.
People probably wondered what I was doing driving around stopping outside of houses and taking photos!

It is a lovely area - not one street, but a collection of streets. There are lots of old style houses - some grand, and others more simply styled, but many beautifully restored. I really like the detail in some of the entrances - with the gates, the arbours, erns, and planters. And see that bay window draped with the lace curtain? beautiful. And for a simple cottage homely feel, I really like the one in the middle of the top row - a terrace house. 


Below is the entrance door of the Bunbury Regional Art Galleries. It is a beautiful building - and the former Sisters of Mercy Convent and Chapel built in 1897 in Federal Free Medieval style, a blend of Gothic and Southern European architectural characteristics.
The building is pink and I really like the decorative plasterwork you can see here above the arch.

 Doors within a door - I can see 4 in the picture (& also my reflection)


I love this building, and I often photograph it from different angles - here are some of its beautiful arches.


And another mosaic of Bunbury architecture - some old and some very new!


Thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful week.
