Location of Lydham Hall in Sydney
Lydham Hall is a State heritage-listed former rural residence at 18 Lydham Avenue, Rockdale in New South Wales, Australia. The house is currently used as a local museum holding a collection of furniture and objects dated from 1860s. Run by the St George Historical Society Inc, it is opened to the public on the first Sunday of every month.
The parcel of land where the house now stands was originally part of the 1200 acres named Bexley granted to James Chandler in 1831. Joseph Davis purchased the site in November 1859. The property was initially named Lidham Hill, but the house within the current land parcel later became known as Lydham Hall. The building was completed in between 1878-1879.[1]
It stands on the highest point of land between the Cooks River and the Georges River.
The street previously known as Joseph Street was re-named Lydham Avenue in 1917 at the request of one of the neighbouring property owners. In 1970, Lydham Hall was purchased by the Rockdale Municipal Council. Since the 2016 Council amalgamation, the property has been owned by the Bayside Council.
Initially, Permanent Conservation Order No 477 in pursuance of section 44 of the Heritage Act 1977, was applied to the property on 20 August 1986. Since the implementation of the New South Wales State Heritage Register in 1999, Lydham Hall has been included on the State Heritage Register and Council's Local Environmental Plan.[2]
