Edwardian Window
"Federation architecture is the architectural style in Australia that was prevalent from around 1890 to 1915. The name refers to the Federation of Australia on 1 January 1901, when the Australian colonies collectively became the Commonwealth of Australia." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federation_architecture
With the death of Queen Victoria on January 22, 1901 the Edwardian age was born. This happened to coincide almost exactly with this new Federation style of architecture which was becoming popular in Australia. Remember that in 1907 Invermay was joined to the Launceston City Council and underwent a building boom.
Invermay has a particularly important architectural collection of Federation style houses. The most historic houses generally have some form of preservation order, but in any case most of the home owners take great pride in maintaining the historic character of Invermay.
So let's start our walk through Invermay.
