The McGarvie Smith Farm has interest as a veterinary research centre for Sydney University since 1936. These buildings are the only known example of rural research institution buildings in the Penrith City Council area.
The c.1936 buildings are representative examples of Inter-War design applied to rural research buildings. The office building uses good proportions in a symmetrical design composed of primary and secondary roof forms and regular door and window openings. The scale, proportions and regular pattern of openings is continued in the less formal student accommodation building. |
