Description

The Greenway Building is on the edge of the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney and has housed the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, part of the University of Sydney, since 1915. It was built as the stables for Government House by convict architect Francis Greenway and completed by 1821. The building is in the shape of a castle, complete with towers, crenellation, arched entrances, and blind arcading. The central (pitched roof) area was originally an open exercise yard for the horses.
