Tusculum & Rockwall Villas
-
“Villa conditions” were actually established in the 1830s to ensure that the hillside overlooking Woolloomooloo Bay attracted the “right sort”. All new houses had to face Government House, cost a fortune, and be approved by the governor of the day. John Verge designed both Tusculum and Rockwall. The Australian Institute of Architects now occupies the former, which has a great bookshop specializing in architectural titles. Rock-wall is a private residence originally built for engineer John Busby, whose bore delivered Sydney’s first permanent fresh water supply.
