CHILDREN'S COURT, SURRY HILLS
The Children’s Court building uses English bonds with raked joints. The surface texture of the bricks are smooth, and are fairly well-maintained. There are only slight chippings in some of the bricks, with the mortar joints being clean and white in colour. The colour of the bricks vary in earthy tones, with the occurence of some blue-coloured bricks. Header bricks are used on the curved surface of the building, to create the rounded shape. The bricks play a structural role, holding the building up.
