Government House- Sydney NSW - Unique Chimneys and Chimney Pots on Waymarking.com

Government House, with its setting on Sydney Harbour, has a garden area of 5 hectares and is located south of the Sydney Opera House, overlooking Farm Cove.
It was designed in a romantic Gothic revival style – castellated, crenellated, turreted and is decorated with oil portraits and the coats of arms of its successive occupants. Additions have included a front portico in 1873, an eastern verandah in 1879 and extensions to the ballroom and Governor's study in 1900-01.

From 1845 until 1996 it served as the Governor's residence, office and official reception space. However, since 1996 the Governor, at the direction of the Premiers since Bob Carr, has not used it as a residence, and the Governor's day office has been relocated to the historic Chief Secretary’s Office building nearby, at 121 Macquarie Street.
The Queen stayed here on her visit to Australia.
