]]>St George’s Anglican Chapel is the chapel of St George’s College, a residential college for students attending The University of Western Australia in Perth. The foundation stone of the chapel was laid in 1928 by Archbishop Riley and the chapel was designed by Sir Talbot Hobbs. Unusually, the red brick chapel is built north-south rather than east-west like most churches. St George’s Chapel is built in the Gothic Revival style, and features side buttresses, pointed-arched windows and entrance, crenelated parapets at the top of the two towers, and lancet windows and tracery on the large stained glass window above the entrance. The chapel is topped by a stone ring-headed, or Celtic, cross, a style popular in much of Britain and Ireland during the medieval period.

]]>This photograph shows the guardhouse that was originally part of the entrance to Government House in the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney. The building was completed in 1848 and is thought to have been built by the Colonial Architect Mortimer Lewis. The guardhouse was in the Gothic Revival style and resembles a small castle with its tower and arched windows. The building was originally on Macquarie Street but was moved back in 1915 when the Sydney Conservatorium of Music moved into the former stables (Greenway Building) to provide public access.

]]>The photograph shows a building at the former Hutchins School in Hobart, Tasmania. Although this building is sympathetic to the main 1849 building on the site designed by William Archer, this building was a later addition and does not feature in an 1890 photograph. This later building is also in the Gothic style, featuring an arcade with pointed arched entrance ways, pointed arched windows on the second storey, and small towers on the corners.
