Ultimo TAFE Heritage Office

The building is an outstanding example of Federation Romaneque educational building. The designer of the building is W. E. Kemp and it was constructed in 1891. The Building is a large three storey brick building with a slate hipped and gabled roof. It is double semicircular arched recessed panels between expressed pilasters and has carved sandstone and terracotta tile decorative panels to the window spandrels. The college building illustrates this earlier phase of Sydney's growth, when the industrial heart of the city was located on the south side of the central business district. The original purpose is attracted more Aboriginal people to choose to live in Sydney.
