Dictionary of Sydney: Haberfield
Walking around Haberfield's wide, leafy streets and enjoying its intertwining gardens just five kilometres west of Sydney's central business district, one might think this is how suburbia has always been. But look east, across the Hawthorne Canal into Leichhardt, and one sees the mishmash of buildings associated with the appalling living conditions and blight of the nineteenth-century industrial city.
Dictionary of Sydney: Yasmar
The Yasmar Estate is without doubt one of western Sydney's 'Great Houses'. It is a rare survivor from the period when wealthy landholders and businessmen invested in architecturally designed houses set in spacious grounds. They were laid out, according to mid-nineteenth century landscaping protocols and reflected the power and aspirations of their owners.
Few of these great nineteenth century houses have survived, and those that have, such as Lyndhurst and Willandra, have lost their gardens and surrounding land. Of the handful within the Cumberland Plain to retain the core elements of their original settings, Yasmar alone still stands.
