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.
