Bomera and Tarana, Victorian villas in Potts Point, Australia.
The two adjacent residences feature Italianate architecture with sandstone construction for Bomera and rendered walls for Tarana, overlooking Sydney Harbour.
Built in 1856 and 1889 respectively by the McQuade family, both properties served as naval offices during World War II for Eastern Australian Command.
The properties showcase nineteenth-century architectural preferences of Sydney elite families, combining Italian design elements with Australian materials and craftsmanship.
The buildings underwent careful restoration in 2003, transforming Bomera into a single residence while Tarana contains three separate luxury apartments.
Each property includes gardens with century-old trees, including a Queensland Kauri Pine planted around 1900 that dominates the western section.
