The Bendigo TAFE Library, Octagonal Reading Room( Now closed to public and ground floor converted into teaching restaurant) #architecture #bendigo #openhousebendigo #tafe #australia #downunder #openhouse #library #history #books #literature #victoria #wandervictoria #discovervictoria #traveldiaries #travelphotography #sony #sonya6000 #regionalvictoria Opened in April 1887, designed by #architects #Vahland and #Getschmann, the library is a striking, high-walled, #octagonal building. An unassuming #red-brick building from the outside. A glazed domed #skylight supported on eight #Corinthian columns makes a grand first impression, and is clever use of #natural lighting. The columns are in turn supported by an octagonal #balcony #gallery and eight #Tuscan columns. (at Bendigo Regional Institute of Tafe) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq4d3uXhmO6/?igshid=2abyyyiz4t7r
