Vaucluse House is located along Wentworth Road, in the eastern suburb of Vaucluse. This heritage listed mansion was designed by Henry Browne Hayes and built in 1803 in 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.
