Highroyd, Annandale, Victorian residence in Annandale, Australia.
The residence occupies a prominent location on Johnston Street, featuring reinforced concrete construction and a distinctive architectural spire on its roof.
John Young, an English builder who constructed numerous Sydney buildings including St Mary's Cathedral, built Highroyd in the late 1800s as part of his vision.
The building forms part of a collection of eight notable houses along Johnston Street that exemplify the architectural preferences of Sydney's upper class in the 1800s.
The house underwent extensive restoration work in 1988, including the repair of wrought iron balconies and recreation of gargoyle decorations for the spire.
Local residents refer to Highroyd and its neighboring house Hockindon as the witches houses due to their characteristic spires and Gothic architectural elements.
