Domes Day : The guardhouses at the entrance to Hyde Park Barracks will soon have new shingle-covered domed roofs. The pair of buildings, once occupied by convict guards and clerks, were a key decorative element in colonial architect Francis Greenway’s controversial design for the convict establishment in 1819.
To celebrate the restoration of the guardhouse domes, the Historic Houses Trust in conjunction with Polyartistry will be running a series of events which will culminate in a family day at Hyde Park Barracks to mark the completion of the project and unveil the finished domes. Historic Houses Trust website has more details.
