Greycliffe House, Victorian Gothic mansion in Vaucluse, New South Wales, Australia
The sandstone residence features multiple gables, cedar joinery, fine plasterwork, and provides extensive views across Sydney Harbour from its elevated position.
John Reeve commissioned architect John Frederick Hilly to construct the house in 1852 for one of William Charles Wentworth's daughters.
Colonel John George Nathaniel Gibbes used the residence as a vantage point to monitor shipping movements in Sydney Harbour during his tenancy.
The building currently functions as a visitor center and headquarters for Sydney Harbour National Park, offering information about local attractions.
After serving as a private residence, the building transformed into a baby hospital and later a mothercraft center before joining Sydney Harbour National Park.
