Verandah Wall neighborhood The Raffan Mill Boiler House

The Raffan Mill Boiler House at Portland Cement Works stands as a structural shell

Cold Storage at Pyrmont

and molten steel pours in a cascade of sparks that lights up the converter shop from floor to roof

sits silent above the empty service bays below

Verandah Wall neighborhood The Raffan Mill Boiler HouseSunlight falls across the weathered timber of the side verandah at Big Hill Post Office, picking out the rust staining the lower boards and the texture of paint stripped back by decades of Southern Tablelands winters. The verandah runs along the bedroom wing of the building, which served the district as a post office from 1 November 1869 until 1945. Part of the Big Hill Post Office series.
