Landmarks

Rose Bay Lodge

Rose Bay Lodge, located in Salisbury Road, was built in 1834 by architect John Verge for James Holt who, at the time, managed the 'Cooper Estate'. When built, it was the only house on the 'Estate', with the possible exception of Henrietta Villa, Captain Piper's previous home on Point Piper. The house was built as a single storey verandahed residence of about 20 squares (186 sq. m.) over a similar sized stone cellar. It was surrounded by extensive gardens embellished by five working fountains fed from a water source above on the slopes of Bellevue Hill which later fed 'Woollahra House', built in 1883 on Point Piper. One of the fountains still remains. Prominent occupiers of the house included Sir Daniel Cooper (his son Daniel was born there in 1848), Walter Lamb (1825-1906) and Sir John Hay (1816-1892) - they were all noted businessmen and parliamentarians. In 1911, the property, then of 4 acres (1.6 ha), was sub divided and built on. Although historically 'disowned', the old house remained but with considerable extensions, including a second storey. It has subsequently been refurbished and brought back to what it was circa 1910. Point Piper is a small harbourside, eastern suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. ...

Fernleigh Castle

This spectacular home was built in 1892,^[2] incorporating part of a sandstone cottage that dated back to 1874. Aptly named, it resembles a castle with its turrets, castellated towers and square Norman tower. Its sandstone structure contains thirty rooms and a number of stained-glass windows. Fernleigh Castle is on the Register of the National Estate.^[3] The Register of the National Estate is a listing of natural and cultural heritage places in Australia. ...

Rose Bay Police Station

This police station originally started life as the gatekeeper's lodge in the estate of Woollahra House, a nineteenth-century mansion that has long gone.^[4] The surviving building was designed in a Victorian Classical Revival style which is attributed to Hilly and Mansfield and which probably tells us what Woollahra House looked like. It was built in 1871 and features rendered walls punctuated with pilasters. Sympathetically restored, it is now on the Register of the National Estate.^[5] The Register of the National Estate is a listing of natural and cultural heritage places in Australia. ...
