Rockwall, Potts Point, Heritage site in Potts Point, New South Wales, Australia.
Rockwall stands at 7 Rockwall Crescent, featuring Colonial Regency architecture with sandstone block construction and original cedar fittings throughout the structure.
John Verge designed this residence between 1831 and 1837 for John Busby, who later sold it to Hamilton Collins Sempill due to financial difficulties.
The property transformed from a private residence to Belmore College girls' school in 1873, then Ailanthus College for Girls in 1904, reflecting educational changes.
The building maintains its position on the New South Wales State Heritage Register since April 1999, preserving its historical elements for future generations.
Among seventeen original villas on Woolloomooloo Hill, Rockwall remains one of only five surviving structures from the early colonial period.
