Richmond Riverside - a period re-creation by Quinlan Terry 1984-87. A variety of new buildings in different Classical styles of the 17th-19th centuries, giving the impression of piecemeal development through that period. Incorporates three restored buildings. The buildings vary in styles, materials, colours and textures, e.g. red and yellow brick, reconstituted stone, stucco. Inside is mainly offices. There are other buildings behind the river frontage not shown here.
