Constructed in 1885, this building is an ornate example of Victorian extravagance. Set in a lakeside landscape with huge Blue Gum Trees (Eucalyptus globulus).
This area is closed to the public (until further notice) because of the recent wind storm that toppled trees.

the reflections are very lovely, Ebie. we often go to Alhambra, which is close to Arcadia, but have never been here. We should probably check this out next time if we get enough time.
