At its back, an amphitheater of modern brick apartments crowd the horizon. Facing onto a broad expanse of green, Tempe House and St Magdalene’s Chapel is a NSW state heritage site, renowned for its history, its unique façade, its connection to prominent local Australians and its usage as a convent. One of the last remnants of John Verge’s architectural genius, Tempe House is a significant element of Bayside Council’s local history. Its ties to historical figures, under the ownership of Scottish émigré Alexander Brodie Spark and social welfare philanthropist Caroline Chisholm, also helped to cement its place in Australian history. As an architectural piece, it holds much significance as a testimony to colonial history. This has been acknowledged in its placement on the NSW State Heritage Register. This essay reflects the historical significance of Tempe House, and in doing so also explores the personalities related to various phases of its history in order to acutely convey the importance of the Estate to Bayside Council. What is Tempe House? Tempe House encapsulates an entire estate near Cooks River, which includes the House, a number of surrounding buildings and landscape, as well as St Magdalene’s Chapel, which was built during the occupation of the Sisters of the Good Samaritan. The subdivision of the land has made it difficult to retain the entire Estate, however the most significant architectural building of the villa and the chapel remain preserved, along with part of the landscape. This is all established on the NSW State Heritage Register. History Prior to Construction Prior to Alexander Spark’s ownership and construction of Tempe house, the land was labeled Packer’s farm. Following his purchase for 100 pounds, the 110 acre estate was rebuilt to Spark’s specifications. The primary villa, which is the most famous of the buildings, was constructed for the purposes entertainment. In the time that it took to build prior to 1836, Spark lived in a temporary sandstone cottage which no longer exists. From 1828, there were six people living on the estate, however by the villa’s complete construction in 1836, 31 people lived and worked on the estate. Inspiration Tempe House, or ‘Tempe’, as Spark named it, was coined after the Vale of Tempe, a beautiful valley situated under ancient Greece’s Mount Olympus. The Grecian Tempe contains the Pineios River, flowing into the Aegean Sea. Said to have been carved from Poseidon’s Trident, the Vale of Tempe was 4 inextricably linked to Grecian mythology, being home to Aristaeus (son of Apollo and Cyrene) and containing a temple to Apollo. The lush scenery and breathtaking landscape described so eloquently by ancient artists and historians would have resembled the view from Tempe House overlooking the Cook’s River. The Australian countryside in 1828, as well as Spark’s imaginative construction, provided the impetus for architect John Verge’s designs of grandeur, especially as Tempe House was constructed with an impressive Grecian façade. Vale of Tempe “It appears to have been a generally received notion among the ancients, that the gorge of Tempe was caused by some great convulsion in nature, which, bursting asunder the great mountain‐barrier, by which the waters of Thessaly were pent up, afforded them an egress to the sea.” John Lempriere in Bibliotheca Classica 5 Location Tempe House and St Magdalene’s Chapel sits at 1 Princess Highway, in Wolli Creek. Overlooking the Cooks River, Tempe House sits at the edge of the remaining area allocated to Discovery Point Park, within the bounds of Bayside Council. A mere 5 minute walk from Wolli Creek Station, Tempe House is easily accessible via public transport, and is a popular tourist destination to witness colonial history and architecture. Next to it sits St Magdalene’s Chapel, a part of Tempe Estate that is currently used to hose community events. The surrounding Brodie Spark Drive is named after the initial owner of the state, Alexander Brodie Spark. Today, apartment buildings sit behind the Estate, and appear prominently in modern pictures of the House. Google Maps Location 6 Description of house and gardens The House Tempe House was built in 1836, entirely out of stone mined from the local quarry. The house was built by colonial architect, John Verge, and remains one of his most outstanding and celebrated works. Much of its inspiration comes from Greek temples, which Verge emulated in the white columns of the veranda. The villa is one storey, 6 bedrooms, sitting on twelve acres of surrounding land. The white classical motif is apparent in its symmetrical façade, where the large wraparound veranda overlooks the traditional Arcadian pastoral landscaping and grounds. This veranda also affords a view of the long carriageway, which approaches the house through the scenic gardens around it. The Northeastern facing front retains much of the original veranda, with glass framed cedar French doors equally positioned on either side of the central stairway leading to the large 8 panel front door. The Southeastern elevation, by contrast, contains a courtyard that opens up from a 6 panel door. Restorations on the roof have modified elements of the original hipped ceiling. In the interior, Verge’s design continues to permeate through the retention of the original fireplaces and French doors, which afford the building a distinctly European flavor. The house was designed to take advantage of the sweeping landscape, with each room having windows that overlook the surroundings. In particular, large French windows allow viewers an unbarred sight of the Cook’s River. Large marble fireplaces complement the original parquet flooring. 7 The Grounds The Tempe

    THE HERALDRY OF THE MACLEAYS AND THEIR KIN: THE ARMS OF WILLIAM MACLEAY, HIS SONS, AND THEIR MALE DESCENDANTS Stephen Michael Szabo Heraldic Consultant, Sydney INTRODUCTION In an earlier article1 I gave a brief account of the life of Alexander Macleay following his arrival in Sydney in 1826 and up to his death twenty-two years later. I noted that there had been little or no scholarly examination of the use of coats of arms and similar heraldic identifiers by Alexander Macleay and his kin by either blood or marriage, and ventured that such an examination, which I hoped to carry out, might reveal something about identity, aspiration and kinship in the Scottish diaspora in colonial New South Wales. The present article narrows its focus to look at the ancestry of Alexander Macleay, how his father acquired legitimately granted arms, and what use of these arms was made by various male family members to declare their social status. ANCESTRY The Australian Dictionary of Biography (ADB) tells us that Alexander Macleay was: the son of William Macleay, provost of Wick and deputy-lieutenant of Caithness. He was descended from an ancient family which came from Ulster; at the Reformation the family had substantial landholdings in Scotland, but by loyalty to the Stuarts suffered severe losses after the battle of Culloden.2 The ADB entry for Alexander’s son George claims that “the McLeays [were] an old Caithness landed family.”3 The latter is not entirely true, for it seems that the Macleays were newly settled in the late eighteenth century in Caithness, but they had indeed 1 Stephen Michael Szabo, ‘The Heraldry of The Macleays and Their Kin: Scottish Heraldry and Its Australian Context’, Journal of the Sydney Society for Scottish History, Vol.

Interested parties may contact the editors. Judith O’Callaghan UNSW Australia TROPHY HOUSE: THE STORY OF BARNCLEUTH (LATER KINNEIL) Kinneil was a rare domestic commission undertaken by the prominent, and often controversial architect, J. J. Clark. Though given little prominence in recent assessments of Clark’s oeuvre, plans and drawings of “Kinneil House,” Elizabeth Bay Road, Sydney, were published as a slim volume in 1891. The arcaded Italianate villa represented was in fact a substantial remodelling of an earlier house on the site, Barncleuth. Built by James Hume for wine merchant John Brown, it had been one of the first of the “city mansions” to be erected on the recently subdivided Macleay Estate in 1852. Brown was a colonial success story and Barncleuth was to be both his crowning glory and parting gesture. Within only two years of the house’s completion he was on his way back to Britain to spend the fortune he had amassed in Sydney. Over the following decades, Barncleuth continued to represent the golden prize for the socially mobile.

  • 'Quilled on the Cann': Alexander Hart, Scottish Cabinet Maker, Radical
    ‘QUILLED ON THE CANN’ ALEXANDER HART, SCOTTISH CABINET MAKER, RADICAL AND CONVICT John Hawkins A British Government at war with Revolutionary and Republican France was fully aware of the dangers of civil unrest amongst the working classes in Scotland for Thomas Paine’s Republican tract The Rights of Man was widely read by a particularly literate artisan class. The convict settlement at Botany Bay had already been the recipient of three ‘Scottish martyrs’, the Reverend Thomas Palmer, William Skirving and Thomas Muir, tried in 1793 for seeking an independent Scottish republic or democracy, thereby forcing the Scottish Radical movement underground. The onset of the Industrial Revolution, and the conclusion of the Napoleonic wars placed the Scottish weavers, the so called ‘aristocrats’ of labour, in a difficult position for as demand for cloth slumped their wages plummeted. As a result, the year 1819 saw a series of Radical protest meetings in west and central Scotland, where many thousands obeyed the order for a general strike, the first incidence of mass industrial action in Britain. The British Government employed spies to infiltrate these organisations, and British troops were aware of a Radical armed uprising under Andrew Hardie, a Glasgow weaver, who led a group of twenty five Radicals armed with pikes in the direction of the Carron ironworks, in the hope of gaining converts and more powerful weapons. They were joined at Condorrat by another group under John Baird, also a weaver, only to be intercepted at Bonnemuir, where after a fight twenty one Radicals were arrested and imprisoned in Stirling Castle.

  • Synoikism, Urbanization, and Empire in the Early Hellenistic Period Ryan
    Synoikism, Urbanization, and Empire in the Early Hellenistic Period by Ryan Anthony Boehm A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Emily Mackil, Chair Professor Erich Gruen Professor Mark Griffith Spring 2011 Copyright © Ryan Anthony Boehm, 2011 ABSTRACT SYNOIKISM, URBANIZATION, AND EMPIRE IN THE EARLY HELLENISTIC PERIOD by Ryan Anthony Boehm Doctor of Philosophy in Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology University of California, Berkeley Professor Emily Mackil, Chair This dissertation, entitled “Synoikism, Urbanization, and Empire in the Early Hellenistic Period,” seeks to present a new approach to understanding the dynamic interaction between imperial powers and cities following the Macedonian conquest of Greece and Asia Minor. Rather than constructing a political narrative of the period, I focus on the role of reshaping urban centers and regional landscapes in the creation of empire in Greece and western Asia Minor. This period was marked by the rapid creation of new cities, major settlement and demographic shifts, and the reorganization, consolidation, or destruction of existing settlements and the urbanization of previously under- exploited regions. I analyze the complexities of this phenomenon across four frameworks: shifting settlement patterns, the regional and royal economy, civic religion, and the articulation of a new order in architectural and urban space. The introduction poses the central problem of the interrelationship between urbanization and imperial control and sets out the methodology of my dissertation. After briefly reviewing and critiquing previous approaches to this topic, which have focused mainly on creating catalogues, I point to the gains that can be made by shifting the focus to social and economic structures and asking more specific interpretive questions.

  • Rare and Curious Specimens, an Illustrated
    The attempt of the Philosophical Society of Australasia to create a colonial museum was as premature as its effort to provide a scientific forum. After the demise of the society in 1822, no public interest seems to have been evinced until June 1827 * when a Sydney newspaper offered A HINT- We should be glad to perceive amongst some of our intelligent and public­ spirited Colonists, more of a drive to prosecute the public weal than at present exists. Amongst other improvements, in these times, would there be any harm in suggesting the idea offounding an AUSTRALIAN MUSEUM? The earlier that such an institution is formed, the better it will be for posterity. 1 What stimulated the hint is unrecorded but it is not unreasonable to suppose that the arrival in Sydney in January 1826 of a new Colonial Secretary may have had something to do with it. Alexander Macleay, FRS, Fellow of the Linnean Society of London and honorary secretary of that prestigious institution from 1798 until1825, had resigned this position at the express request of Earl Bathurst, Secretary of State for the Colonies, to become head of the public service of New South Wales. He was fifty-nine years old when he came to Sydney, having retired from the British civil service on a substantial pension in 1818, but age was no impediment to his activity. He worked in close harmony with Governor Darling and his abrupt dismissal by Governor Bourke in 1837 aroused considerable dissent from the general public of New South Wales, who held him in high esteem as an honest and hard-working administrator.

Australia is home to the world’s oldest continuing art tradition (indigenous Australian art) and one of the youngest national art traditions (encompassing Colonial art, modern art and the art of today). This rich and diverse history is full of fascinating characters and hard won aesthetic achievements. The lecture series is structured to introduce a number of key artists and their work, to place them in a historical context and to consider a range of themes (landscape, urbanism, abstraction, the noble savage, modernism, etc.) and issues (gender, power, freedom, identity, sexuality, autonomy, place etc.) prompted by the work. Course Format The course combines in-class lectures employing a variety of media with group discussions and a number of field trips. The aim is to provide students with a general understanding of a series of major achievements in Australian art and its social and geographic context. Students should also gain the skills and confidence to observe, describe and discuss works of art. Course Outline Week 1 Session 1 Introduction to Course Introduction to Topic a.

Our aim is to submit a paper outlining what we know to be key assets of the area between Menangle and Douglas Park bordered by the Nepean River to the East and West of the Hume Highway, also including lands North of Menangle Village. We have a high concentration of environmental, historical and cultural assets and our Vision has been developed to capitalize on these assets. We would like to point out that we are not experts in planning but have relied on previous planning documents, reports by the National Parks and Wildlife Association, Government Departments and local knowledge. We would also like to highlight the fact the Macarthur South Paper of 1991, whilst it can be said to be dated, is actually the most comprehensive study on this area to date, taking into consideration all facets of planning. More recent studies tend to be fairly broad in nature, lacking detail, focusing on only one or two pressing issues of the day. We believe that we are very fortunate as a community to live in such a beautiful and interesting area and are very keen for Wollondilly Council to understand the special lifestyle this landscape affords us.
