Building A



Building A in the Sydney Technical College (Ultimo TAFE college) is part of the earliest buildings in the NSW public education system, the first building purposely built as a technical college. This Federation Romanesque style building was built in 1891 by W E Kemp. He is the designer and the maker of this building. This old building is still in a good physical condition and has a high degree of original details intact.
It is a three storey brick building, it has a roof which was made of slate and ends by a central triangular parapet. On its second level, double semicircular arched recessed windows and sandstone carving are its main features. And it also has terracotta tiles on the window for decoration. Anyway it's a beautiful and stylish building.
I've never been there, so I haven't had the chance to look inside. If I had a chance to study there, I would tell you more about it.
