Fairfax House is a historic house in the Sydney suburb of Bellevue Hill. It is listed on the Australian Register of the National Estate.[1]
The two-storey Gothic house is on the south side of Ginahgulla Road. It was built in 1858 by John Fairfax, of the Fairfax family of newspaper proprietors. It may have been designed by Edmund Blacket, who was otherwise distinguished as an ecclesiastical architect, responsible for many churches in the Sydney area. The Fairfax family used the house until 1945, when it was bought by the nearby private school, the Scots College. The College still owned the house as of 2008.[2]
