Pallister, Greenwich, Heritage site in Greenwich, Australia
The Pallister property at 95 River Road features a grand mahogany staircase and Bangor roof slates imported from England during its construction in 1892.
John St Vincent Welch, who arrived from Devonshire in 1876, designed and constructed this Victorian residence that overlooks the Lane Cove and Parramatta Rivers.
The property transformed from a private residence to a girls' school under SCEGGS in 1937, then became a children's home before its conversion into a hospital.
Greenwich Hospital now operates within the former Pallister grounds, providing medical services while maintaining the historical elements of the original structure.
An observatory was constructed on the property by 1900, housing a telescope brought from England specifically for observing the transit of Venus.
