Description: These two images are building plans for the Church of England Boys' Home site at 756 Pennant Hills Road. The top image shows a sketch of the front of a single-storey cottage accompanied by an inset floor-plan of the building. The lower image is a plan of the whole site. It shows a curved line of eight cottages facing Pennant Hills Road, with the larger Buckland Memorial Home in the centre of the cottages. Behind the cottages is a sports field, a garden, and several smaller buildings (possibly workshops, laundry block, sheds, etc). Each image has text identifying the different buildings, or rooms in the cottage, however this text is not legible in this version of the plans. These images were published in the Sydney Morning Herald on 25 May 1927 in an article titled 'Building Industry, Homes for Boys'.
