Sir Edmund Thomas Blacket

Built between 1854 and the 1920s, the University of Sydney’s Main Quadrangle was done in a mediaeval gothic revival style, similar to that of Cambridge and Oxford. It and the surrounding buildings were designed by Sir Edmund Thomas Blacket, Australian architect.

The landmark clock tower is located over the front entrance to the cloister. Gargoyles adorn the building and there are elaborate leadlight stained windows.

The Great Hall (on the right of the photo) and also designed by Sir Edmund Thomas Blacket, is situated at the north end and opened on 18 July 1859. He designed other notable buildings in Sydney, including St. Paul’s College and the improvements at St. Andrew’s Cathedral in Sydney.
