Old Colonial Architecture in New South Wales and Tasmania by Hardy Wilson is a substantial illustrated architectural work documenting early colonial buildings, houses, churches, public buildings and domestic architecture in New South Wales and Tasmania.
 
Originally published in 1924, this 1975 Ure Smith paperbound edition, produced in association with The National Trust of Australia (NSW), reproduces Hardy Wilson’s influential architectural plates in reduced facsimile form. Wilson was one of the key figures in the appreciation and revival of Australian colonial architecture, and this book remains an important reference for readers interested in heritage buildings, early Australian architecture, colonial design, Georgian influence, and historic streetscapes.
 
The work includes numerous plates of significant colonial buildings and architectural details, including examples from Sydney, Parramatta, Goulburn, Richmond, Hobart, Ross, Longford, Bothwell, Campbell Town and other historic locations. The illustrations cover buildings such as chapels, cottages, government houses, verandahs, doorways, porches and notable colonial residences.
 
This is a desirable title for collectors of Australian architecture, colonial history, heritage conservation, National Trust publications, New South Wales history and Tasmanian history.
