She started a preparatory school forwomen to enter Sydney University and she also wasinstrumental in raising the age of consent for girls,from 12 to 16.She was an incredibly powerful woman of her time.Maybanke was a divorcee. Her divorce was one of1500 that went through all at the same time, becauseshe was also instrumental in getting the divorceprovisions into law.And then, of course, she couldn’t own the house. Herex-husband owned the house. So her brother, NormanSelfe had to recover the title deed for this house, backfor Maybanke. And then she went on to create a holdof kindergarten schools and Maybanke School...”- Stuart King, Owner of Maybankeon Maybanke Anderson, Australian Suffragette

View of Maybanke from Wharf Road with original front and side facades restored from it's unsympathetic 1930's conversion. The bay windows, balconies, chimneys, copper downpipes and dormer window in a mansard roof, and gothic revival stone trims, mounts and detailing were reinstated.

The original stone foundation wall is a feature of the dining room and kitchen. The exposed sandstone has around eight ex-convict signature 'sparrow picking' styles inscribed from when the original structure was built in the 1870's. There was a few stonemason's around Sydney at that time so it was common to use this technique as a way of signing each block.

“The architecture is very robust and direct. It draws its strength from simplicity and the materials the house is built from. We wanted to respond to that character, that strength, and create a softness and tactility that provides a space for the people living there. There is a lot of warmth, glow, and texture, from timber and luscious marbles. They are counter-posed against the concrete walls, the concrete floors and stainless steel benchtops.”- Kerry Fyfe, Interior Architect for Maybanke
