Vince Crow
Your Historian Gudie
Vince Crow taught History and Legal Studies at St Mary’s Cathedral College from 1972 to 2009. He was a founding member of the Haberfield Association, established in 1980, and was awarded the Order of Australia Medal in 1994 for his services to heritage conservation.
Vince undertook extensive original research into Haberfield’s history and began the campaign in the mid-1970s to have Haberfield recognised and protected as a heritage conservation area.
Haberfield is recognised as Australia’s first planned Garden Suburb, characterised by its Federation houses (1901–1921) and Californian bungalows (1920s–1930s). The suburb was planned and developed by real estate agent Richard Stanton.”
