"Caerleon House" - Bellevue Hill - Sydney - New South Wales

Caerleon House ~ Bellevue Hill.

Built in 1885-87 for the Sydney Morning Herald proprietor Charles Burton Fairfax, grandson of the newspaper's founder John Fairfax.

The original plans were drawn up by Sydney architect Harry Kent, but London architect Maurice Adams reworked the plans extensively, unfortunately Kent found that his name was left out altogether when the plans were exhibited in London, although he did supervise the construction of the house.

Caerleon is said be the first Queen Anne home built in Australia, it listed on the now defunct Register of the National Estate, it also has New South Wales heritage listing.
