Dalori

The house known as Dalori is located at number 3 New Street, Windsor New South Wales. It was constructed in 1929 for successful Freemans Reach farmer Alfred James Daley and his wife Margaret Harriet Sullivan. The land was portion 45 of Mrs Copes Subdivision of the 1840s and the property was sold to A J Daley in 1925 by Constance Elsie Onus.

Following the death of Alfred Daley in April 1952 the property passed to his son James Gordon Daley. From November 1952 the house was owned and well maintained by the Rural Bank of New South Wales for many years.

Stylish and unique, Dalori was home to the Daley family from the late 1920s until the early 1950s. Cathy McHardy December 2011

Dalori is a largely intact and substantial example of the Californian Bungalow style which was popular in Australia during the 1920s featuring front facing decorative gables, ornate coloured glass casement windows with skirts of shaped shingles and a tiled front verandah. Pairs of squat columns support the prominent front verandah gable.

Inside the house, ornate plaster embellishes each of the main rooms with the living room ceiling featuring a richly decorated centre recess and corner fireplace.

This house was the epitome of style and success during the interwar period and the quality and detail of its decorative elements and finishes especially the finely crafted recess ceiling to the living room make it a unique building in the town of Windsor.
