Federation style house

This is a refurbished Federation style house, not too far from where we live. The original fabric of the house probably goes back to around 1890 - 1900.

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.

The architectural style had some similarities to the Queen Anne style of England and the shingle style of the Eastern United States.
