Elizabeth Bay House is a historic home managed by the Historic Houses Trust in Onslow Avenue with views across Sydney Harbour.
Elizabeth Bay was named in honour of Governor Lachlan Macquarie’s wife, Elizabeth.
The area was known by the Aboriginal name 'Yarrandabby' and for what is now Macleay Point was 'Jerrewon'.
Alexander Macleay (1767-1848), the Colonial Secretary of New South Wales, was granted 54 acres here in 1828. He commissioned architect John Verge (1788–1861) to build Elizabeth Bay House, a Regency style home that was completed in 1837.
