Photo Sketch of Boronia House Mosman.

Boronia House is a heritage listed former residence located in Military Road, in the wealthy Sydney suburb of Mosman, NSW, Australia.

It was built during 1885 together with an identical mansion adjacent to this one for two brothers who made their fortune in building horse carriages. The properties were sold when the carriage business collapsed and the brothers were bankrupted.

The building became the Mosman library for many years. Then an up-market marriage/event business, until Covid! Now it is going to be used as a health resort.

The second property was demolished and “developed” into new flats and a service station many years ago.

This remaining property has now been owned by Mosman Council for over 100 years and thankfully is now Federally and NSW heritage listed.

I used an app called Photo Sketch to give this photo a bit of a drawn appearance.

Wonderful old building and good that is now a protected heritage home. Such a beautiful wrought iron balustrade typical of those I have seen on older homes on my visits to Australia. That style is not seen in Canada, at least not on the west coast where I live.

I like the processing - it's achieving the look you wanted without being too intrusive. A very nice final image. Interesting info too.

This house is similar in style to many in New Orleans, LA, USA. The elaborate embellishment along the verandas which in NOLA were usually on the 2nd floor only.
