S.H.P Memorial School of Arts - National Trust of Australia NSW The property stands to commemorate the memory of Sir Henry Parkes, one of Australia’s great statesmen

Sir Henry Parkes ‘The Father of Federation’ delivered a speech in October 1889 that in the words of Sir Robert Garran “turned a vague ideal into a practical working program for Federation”. His speech revived the Federation movement and led to the creation of the Australian nation. The site would become The National Trust’s first museum and has earned the title of ‘birthplace of our nation.’ The p

roperty not only stands to commemorate the memory of one of Australia’s great statesmen but to provide a centre of interest to perpetuate the meaning and purpose of Federation. Architecturally, the building comprises many styles, from its Gothic outline to the Edwardian addition of 1913. The building and location reflect the beginning of a community functioning politically and creatively as a whole, which in turn interprets the contributions and projects of the great Sir Henry Parkes.
