Government House is located alongside the Royal Botanic Gardens, overlooking Sydney Harbour. It was formerly the official residence, and remains the official reception space, of the Governor of New South Wales. It was designed by Edward Blore, in the Gothic revival architectural style. Building commenced in 1837 with Governor George Gipps becoming the first resident in 1845. It is now managed by the Historic Houses Trust of New South Wales as a museum. A view in the opposite direction can be seen here.
Your Government house and the grounds are beautiful. Great shot!
ReplyDeleteNice Mansion ! There are so much windows on it... I wouldn't like to be the one cleaning them...
ReplyDeleteFunny looking building really, but what sight lines from the photo from the other side of the building! Not an infinity pool, but perhaps an infinity pond.
ReplyDeleteI went on a tour of the public rooms earlier this year. It's free and not something one would normally think to do.
ReplyDeleteA handsome building with a magnificent view!
ReplyDeleteThe house has many interesting shadows.
