Federation architecture refers to the architectural style in Australia, predominantly in the Federation period c. 1890 - c. 1915. The period refers to the Federation of Australia on 1 January 1901, when the Australian colonies collectively became the Commonwealth of Australia.

The Federation period is known internationally as the Edwardian period, named for the reign of King Edward VII (1901 - 1910). Since the Federation of Australia was a significant event during this period, the term 'Edwardian' is seldom used in Australia. Federation architecture has many similarities to Edwardian architecture. Many Federation buildings, both residential and non-residential, are listed on the Register of the National Estate because of their heritage values

I took this as we drove through the streets of Newcastle N.S.W one early grey morning last February.
It was a bit washed out and has been waiting for me to decide what to do...a touch of Midnight Sepia action was applied. I hope you like it.
