No. 4 in the Hospital Walk series. This photo shows the back of the hospitals on Murray Street where the newer extension/expansions are. The more impressive older buildings face east on University Avenue. The black and white shows the challenge of their tasks and the inevitable goodbyes.
Este interior bien equipado prepara el escenario para el ritual de cortejo de la creación musical, a través del cual hombres y mujeres se conocieron cantando y tocando instrumentos juntos. El niño en primer plano, imitando a los adultos, toca un violonchelo con una flauta y rompe una cuerda, una sutil alusión a los peligros de la pasión desenfrenada.
Morning light on the pre-Victorian Meanwood Institute. I read that they have two snooker tables made in 1885.
Three pieces of carving from antiquity, about which not a great deal is known. This is a fragment of a stone relief from 5th century Persepolis, only a few inches high.

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 Curlwaa Mechanics’ Institute was opened in the early 1900s. The Mechanics’ Institute term was dropped fairly early and it was generally known as the Curlwaa Hall. After the Second World War the original outdoor WW I monument was dismantled, as it had become a traffic hazard. The hall had become quite rundown and was renovated to become the Curlwaa Memorial Hall, which was officially opened in 1958. Panels were mounted either side of the main door recording the names of those who had died in the First and Second World Wars respectively. The original Honour Rolls recording all who had served were retained in the Hall."
