Newington House, Regency architecture house in Silverwater, Australia
The two-story Newington House features a symmetrical facade with decorative fanlight above the main entrance door and traditional colonial design elements.
John Blaxland established the 520-hectare estate in 1807, naming it after his family residence in Kent, England, before construction began in 1832.
The property witnessed multiple transformations, from a private residence to Newington College campus and later within the Silverwater Correctional Centre grounds.
The building currently operates as an administrative facility within the Silverwater Correctional Complex, located 20 kilometers west of Sydney's business district.
During its early years, the estate included salt production facilities, a tweed mill, lime kiln, and flour mill under John Blaxland's entrepreneurial direction.
