Sydney Conservatorium of Music

A brilliant blue sky above the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, adjacent to the Royal Botanic Gardens. The Greenway Building, designed by convict architect Francis Greenway, was constructed in 1821 as the stables for the proposed Government House of New South Wales. The gothic building with turrets was described as a "palace for horses" and portrays the romantic vision of Governor Lachlan Macquarie and the British architectural trends of the time. It was converted to a music conservatorium in 1916 and today is part of the University of Sydney.
