New Home to AUF

AUF has moved to its new premises on Del Rosa: a property regarded as one of Liverpool’s most historic.

Located at 7 Speed Street, Del Rosa was sold at auction for $745,000 in April 2013. AUF moved in the property in July 2013.

A NSW Environment and Heritage Statement of Heritage Impact described it as showing: “A particular Spanish Manor-style that is now rare within the Liverpool area.

Del Rosa is also known as “the house of Dr James Pirie” a local doctor. He was a charitable man who visited patients in their homes, often treating many without fee, especially during the 1930s depression. He was the most popular doctor in Liverpool. He was so well liked that the council cancelled their meeting in reverence to him. He passed away in 1942.

This “Remnant of the history of Liverpool” sits on a prominent corner block comprises of 6+ offices, kitchen, bathroom, laundry, foyer, secured courtyard area, triple lock-up garage, off-street parking for 7+ cars, 1200 square metre with 200 square metres of lettable area.

The single-storey, free-standing cement rendered brick residence features lightly textured external stucco finish to walls and gables with rounded-tile verge capping. It has three arched openings, Marseilles patterned terracotta roof tiles and wrought iron balustrading and gates.
