Adereham Hall, Elizabeth Bay

The glorious building is in Elizabeth Sydney. It is Adereham Hall dating from 1934 and designed by Gordon McKinnon & Sons.

Often a building will have one sunburst motif, front and centre, on the facade but Adereham Hall has a wonderful geometric Aztec or Mayan 'hieroglyph' instead and sunbursts just about everywhere else. At the top of each column and, in a different style, under each of the three top-floor windows. The later style sunburst is then repeated above the main entrance.

It makes another appearance under each of the two small balconies half-way up the building.

Elizabeth Bay and Potts Point are wonderful areas of Sydney to explore and admire Art Deco buildings, many of which are included on this walking tour of the area.
