Old Parliament House (Canberra, ACT)

Australia / Australian Capital Territory / Canberra / Canberra, ACT
 parliament, national government / government, 1927_construction
Australia's first Federal Parliament building was designed as the grandest element and central focus of a fully planned capital city. The building is intimately associated with the political history of Australia, from its opening in 1927 until the move to new Parliament House in 1988. The building has been the focus of Commonwealth Government for generations of Australians.

The building is a good example of Inter-War Stripped Classical architectural style. The various formal gardens, courtyards, pergolas and verhandahs reflect the ideals of a planned Garden City.
