Woodford Academy, Historic colonial building in Blue Mountains, Australia

Woodford Academy is a complex of stone and weatherboard buildings at 90–92 Great Western Highway, Woodford, begun by Thomas Michael Pembroke between 1828 and 1835. Its main building, dairy and three-part kitchen building appear in their present form in an 1869 drawing; the west wing was added by 1862 and the second-storey east wing later, under Alfred Fairfax.

The building started as an inn serving travelers on the route between Sydney and Bathurst before converting to a school in 1907. This use as an academy lasted about 30 years before the structure changed purpose again.

The property's names trace its past: Woodman's Inn, King's Arms Inn, Buss's Inn, Woodford House and finally Woodford Academy. Alfred Fairfax, who owned it from 1868, renamed it Woodford House and built the second-storey east wing for his Sydney friends and their servants. A pear tree on the neighbouring block is likely the last remnant of his orchard.

The property sits at 90–92 Great Western Highway in Woodford, on the north side of the road, and is owned by the National Trust of Australia (NSW). The complex is entered from the highway, with the main building, the 1862 west wing and the separate kitchen building grouped together; allow time to move between them.

In 1874, scientists came to Woodford to observe the transit of Venus, setting up portable observatories in tents about 200 yards west of the house. Alfred Fairfax, then owner of Woodford House, hosted members of the scientific community on his grounds for the observations.
