Elizabeth Bay House is a 19th century Regency style home, built between 1835 and 1839.
This superb example of Australian colonial architecture, was designed by John Verge, for the Colonial Secretary, Alexander Macleay and his family
The interiors reflect the lifestyle of the Macleays and present an evocative picture of 19th century life.
It was originally surrounded by a 54 acre garden but is now situated within a densely populated inner city suburb.
In the cellar of the house is a video showing the history of the house. You can also buy a cup of tea and coffee to drink while watching the 18 minute video!
