Bonnyrigg House, Heritage site in Bonnyrigg suburb, Australia.

The colonial Georgian homestead features sandstock brick construction, a hipped iron roof, painted cedar joinery, and an internal staircase at Cartwright Street.

The property originated in 1804 when Governor King granted land to the Female Orphan School, later transforming into the Male Orphan School in 1826.

James Busby established a vineyard in 1825 at this location, marking the foundation of Australian wine production through agricultural education programs.

The building stands as one of the oldest structures in Fairfield City, registered on the New South Wales State Heritage Register since 1999.

Archaeological investigations revealed pathways, an original bore, and surface artifacts from the orphanage period beneath the current suburban development.
