The Appian Way
> >
 * This unique precinct, State Heritage listed, was conceived as a model housing estate. George Hoskins dreamed of building his own housing estate to accommodate his business executives close to him.
 * The estate was built on twenty acres and the homes were designed to a standard that would attract ‘respectable’ businessmen and professionals, residents who would be part of a harmonious social community having all the facilities desirable for a self-contained suburban lifestyle.
 * The curved roadway around a central recreational area is the main feature of the layout. Hoskins may have received his inspiration for this idea from The Parade in Enfield which was established in 1886.
 * The houses were leased, rather than sold, enabling Hoskins to control all aspects of the community. Only one house was sold before Hoskins’ death in 1926. Each house was sold thereafter with a share in the Appian Way Recreation Club, which owns the recreation reserve in the centre of the street. A proposal to build high-rise flats in the recreation reserve was defeated in the 1970s.
 * The Appian Way is widely regarded as the finest street of Federation houses in Australia.
