Camperdown, NSW, 2006 AU / NSW
Location Description
Wesley is one of six on-campus colleges at the University of Sydney, located in Camperdown in Sydney’s inner west. Protestant, co-residential. The Edwardian Gothic main wing of Wesley dates from 1917 and was designed by Byera Hadley (1872-1937), an English-born architect who had emigrated to Australia in 1887. The brown face brick and sandstone building originally consisted of the central wing, dining room, chapel and Master's residence. It has a steep slate roof and is topped with a copper flèche. The interiors are detailed in a neo-Gothic style with polished timber staircases and wainscotting, leadlight windows and quatrefoil plaster ceilings. In 1922 the building's original design by Hadley was completed with further additions in the 1940s and 1960s.
