STEPS AND BALUSTRADE IN THE GROUNDS OF MR. LEBBEUS  

HORDERN’S HOME AT DARLING POINT, SYDNEY.  

Morrow De Putron, Architects.  

Though these piers and lamps do not match the entrance gate posts, the simple type and  

Their surmounting lights have sufficient character to be perfectly harmonious. The balusters  

[?]resent an inverted appearance. It is not often that Australian eyes are treated to the  

[?]eauty produced by expansive grounds, with flights of steps such as these, which invariably  

[?]roduce flights of fancy as we go back in imagination to Italian villas, with their pergolas,  

terraces, statuary urns, castles that constitute the palaces of our dreams.
