This sandstone building with rendered window and door trim, quoins and highly decorative parapet
was constructed in 1904 as an Institute Building and is now used as a private residence. The highly
decorative parapet features decorative pilasters and balustrading with elaborate mouldings. The front
of the building has been altered, wit the entry closed in with a sandstone and glass block porch.
The Institute was constructed after a public campaign to erect a building in which to hold meetings
and public gatherings in the Wayville area. Land was purchased from the SA Company and the hall
and attached room was opened in December 1904. Ownership of the building was transferred to
Unley Council in 1929, and the property is now privately owned.

Repurposed as the Neighbourhood centre is this lovely Mechanics Institute building in the small town of Ballan, near Ballarat. There is an interesting iron sculpture outside the front. I liked the modern signage and solar panels contrasting with the older building sign. Mechanics Insitutes were forerunners of the modern public library plus had skill development /learning as their major purpose. Happy Window Wednesday.

“The Crowning with Thorns” In 1975, when I was an art student at Pratt Institute, I took a printmaking class. My failed attempts at etching has already been posted. Here is the only lithograph I ever did. Luckily we used a metal plate and not stone. I’m not THAT old. I liked lithography better than etching because it was more like drawing with pencil. But, you still couldn’t rework, erase, etc. And it was just too much work. Finding these old pieces of mine are bringing back a lot of memories during this continuing lockdown from the coronavirus.

"The original Leongatha Mechanics' Institute was erected on the Memorial Hall site in 1891. The present building, consisting of two large rooms and a billiard saloon, was opened by The Hon J.E. Mackey on 26 March 1912. It functioned as a library, meeting room and billiard room until 1982. The Leongatha and District Historical Society was given the use of the building by the Shire of Woorayl in 1983."

The Manoora Institute was built using local stone from Wares Quarry in 1880 by Messrs Jones & McFarlane at a cost of £280, with the committee providing the stone, bricks, lime, and sand. The main hall was officially opened on the 18th of December 1884 by the Minster of Justice and Education, the Hon. R. C. Baker. The local community later raised £600 by staging concerts and billiard tournaments to fund the front extensions, which opened on the 17th of October 1908 by the Commissioner of Crown Lands, the Hon. L. O'Loughlin.
Manoora, South Australia:
Manoora, South Australia, is named after the Aboriginal name for a spring of water. Developed from a waystation for copper teamsters, Manoora was also on the Peterborough railway line, serving Burra until the line closed. It passed by the upper reaches of the Gilbert River. Manoora is a pleasant town ringed by shallow hills, and its buildings feature extensive use of local sandstone.

"Beneath the commonwealth, there is a cancer known as the institute. A malignant growth which must be cut, before it affects the surface. They are experimenting with dangerous technologies, and could prove to be the worlds undoing a second time."

Botanical Garden
Walking through the Inhotim gardens is more than just contemplating its exuberance. Inserted in the remaining forested portion of the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado – two of the richest biomes in biodiversity and, at the same time, threatened on the planet – the Institute is a pulsating field for scientific research and a tool for conservation and environmental education.
In 2010, Inhotim was recognized as a Botanical Garden, a title awarded by the National Commission of Botanical Gardens (CNJB). The gardens, which began to be built in the 1980s, are designed by Pedro Nehring, who is still responsible for the landscaping of Inhotim. Between 2000 and 2004, Luiz Carlos Orsini signed the 25-hectare landscaping project. Today, the Institute is a national and international reference in contemporary tropical landscaping.
In total, there are more than 140 hectares of visitation area, in addition to an extension of 250 hectares of Inhotim Private Natural Heritage Reserve (RPPN). The Inhotim Botanical Garden (JBI) manages the collection and botanical collections, comprising more than 4,300 native Brazilian and exotic species from around the world, in addition to researching and monitoring the Institute's natural heritage.
In 2021, Instituto Inhotim was awarded the Grant Awarded – BGCI’s Global Botanic Garden Fund, an international incentive that recognizes and supports projects that work towards plant conservation.
