Built in 1896, the Old Observatory, sitting at the top of Mount Eliza, excellent spot for an observatory, in West Perth is now appropriately the headquarters of
the National Trust. I see that they do tours around this lovely old building on certain days, not unfortunately the day I took these, I will go back! Check out the site here for the new Perth Observatory 25km east of Perth in Bickley, also heritage listed, definitely worth a visit don't you agree! We're having a few much needed cooler days here in Perth, back up to 39C on Friday.. I'm ready for them :) Happy Wednesday, take care and stay safe...

This building is amazingly beautiful. Yes, please take the tour and get us more photos from the inside.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful structure to behold!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place, and the grounds are just as lovely! Enjoy your day and sunny skies.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of those treasures that we must take care of and preserve for future generations. We have one building similar here and I started to stop and photography it yesterday, but wanted to get home. I will go back just as you will. Happy day.
ReplyDeleteA lovely building but somewhat strange design for astronomy.
ReplyDeleteWould make a nice weekend retreat,please get inside and take pictures.
Ah, beautiful it is indeed, Grace!! And a treasure to preserve! Terrific captures as always!! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!! Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteFascinating architecture. I love it.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous architecture, looooove the roundness!
ReplyDeleteGreat building. Look at the size of the eaves; very important in a hot area. It's a very Australian building.
ReplyDeleteI love it, Grace! Especially those deep wrap around verandahs!
ReplyDeleteSuper! I'm ready to move in. :-)
ReplyDeleteThe old one sure has much more character than the new one.
ReplyDeleteThat is nice Grace and yes, please go back! I would love to see some pictures of the interior. That second floor porch is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you take the tour. That is a beautiful building.
ReplyDeleteThey knew how to build in those days! Stay cool, safe & careful.
ReplyDeleteSuch an amazing building Grace. Love the curves. They certainly don't build them like this anymore.
ReplyDeleteA very beautiful building, worth to visit I think. I read this morning the tennisgames have cancelled in Melbourne because of 46 degrees C!
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful building, in a nice location (love the green around it) !

ReplyDeleteBeautiful building, observatory or not!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful old building! So different from what you expect and observatory to look like!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful building. It looks more like a grand home than a scientific place!
ReplyDeleteThe curved features of the building give it so much character. A grand one.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great building, very beautiful...
ReplyDeleteSuch interesting architecture!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous building...it is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIt looks more like a posh restaurant or small hotel. But I don't see a place for a telescope.
