Since its construction in 1928, the "Residency" has become a symbol of the brief independence and Vice-Regal power Central Australia had from North Australia in Northern Territory history . The building was designed specifically for arid conditions with a central masonry core of rooms of patterned cement blocks, surrounding verandah, and low verandah wall.
