Cranbrook, Bellevue Hill, Historic mansion in Bellevue Hill, Australia.

The grand Victorian estate spans multiple levels with sandstone walls, high ceilings, ornate details, and extensive gardens overlooking Sydney Harbour.

Built in 1859 by Robert Tooth of the Tooth's Brewery family, the residence served as Government House for New South Wales from 1901 to 1917.

The mansion contains significant architectural elements from the Victorian era, including marble fireplaces, carved staircases, and detailed glasswork throughout the interior.

The property now functions as part of Cranbrook School, combining educational facilities with preserved historical architecture in Sydney's eastern suburbs.

During its time as Government House, the estate hosted the 1908 American Fleet garden party, marking a significant diplomatic gathering in Australian history.
