Now, about Vineyard. It’s interesting that “The Vineyard” was once one of Sydney’s finest colonial homes. It was designed by architect John Verge for Hannibal Hawkins Macarthur. Completed in 1836, it was admired for its Greek Revival style. Sadly, nothing remains of it on its original site. But its story lives on. The Vineyard was a center of social life in the colony.
The Vineyard’s design drew inspiration from pattern books. The arrangement of the entrance hall and staircase were adapted from a design in Peter and Michael Angelo Nicholson’s “The New Practical Builder”. The colonnade was practical for the Australian climate.
It also served as the first priory in Australia for Benedictine nuns. It became a boarding school for girls. They renamed it Subiaco. Later, it was demolished in 1961 to make a car park.
The public campaign to save Subiaco is now considered a key moment in the heritage movement in New South Wales. It created public support for preservation.
