Clip description
This clip from a silent black-and-white cinema advertisement for Castlecrag Estate, a newly built suburb of Sydney, shows a group of women, possibly including Marion Mahoney, Walter Burley Griffin’s wife, enjoying afternoon tea overlooking Middle Harbour. It also shows a gentleman smoking a cigarette on his doorstep, and a rooftop party on top of one of the new stone houses.
Curator’s notes
This clip captures some interesting footage of Sydney suburbia and society in the late 1920s.
