- productDescription:
- <p>The architect Sir John Sulman and the Riverina’s first Anglican Bishop, Sydney Linton, designed a simple yet elegant building in the Riverina town of Hay in 1888.</p><p>For the 2 Englishmen, both freshly arrived in Australia, the scorching heat of Riverina summers and the ever-present threat of flood posed many challenges.</p><p>Their solution – a stately bishop’s residence shaded by wide verandas and clad in corrugated iron – has stood the test of time.</p><p>Constructed over 2 years, the building’s survival attests to their ingenuity in what remains a defining architectural collaboration.</p>
