Vaucluse House, fountain

This fountain stands outside Vaucluse House, in the eastern suburb of Vaucluse, which is named after the historic estate. Vaucluse House is a mansion designed by Henry Browne Hayes and built in 1803 in the the Gothic Revival style with additions made in 1828. The fountain was installed in the pleasure garden in 1862. In 1915 Vaucluse House became Australia’s first official house museum.

    This old building has a lot of charm, brought out even better with the little fountain and lily pads.

    Thanks for linking to the Vaucluse House website. It looks like a great place to visit. The Roll On Long Lunch is a great idea.

    Because my in-laws lived in the Eastern Suburbs, this is an area of Sydney I know well. Love the house and garden!
