Bidura, Heritage site in Glebe, Australia
The Victorian Italianate residence at 357 Glebe Point Road features rendered brick walls, double-hung timber windows, and a slate roof with decorative eaves brackets.
Edmund Blacket constructed this residence in 1862 while working on the University of Sydney, residing there until his wife Sarah passed away in 1869.
The New South Wales Government transformed the property into a children's welfare facility in 1920, serving as a depot for the State Children's Relief Board.
The building contains a central entrance hall with marble flooring, multiple rooms with high ceilings, and a separate ballroom connected by a covered walkway.
The facility housed children awaiting court outcomes until 1977, marking a significant period in New South Wales child welfare system history.
