Vaucluse, Greycliffe House

Greycliffe House is located in Nielsen Park, looking out on Sydney Harbour, in the eastern suburb of Vaucluse. This sandstone house was designed by John Frederick Hilly and built in 1851 in the Gothic Revival style. Since 1975 it has been the headquarters for the National Park and Wildlife Service.

  1. The window design is so enchanting - particularly the upstairs one on the left, which has the added magic of shadow patterns in this gorgeous light..

  5. It is fascinating to «Louis» how these architectural styles spanned the globe, particularly in those times when communications were anything but instantaneous as they are today. There are buildings of the Gothic Revival style in the older parts of the U.S. though they are relatively rare in California.
