Statement of significance:


	Northwood House and Cottage is of State heritage significance for historical, associative, and representative values. The late 19th century marine villa is situated in an elevated position overlooking the Lane Cove River with substantially intact views of the water. The suburb of Northwood is named in honour of Northwood House, which stands as the oldest surviving residence in the area, demonstrating the built form character of the area prior to late 19th century subdivision. Northwood House and Cottage is of State heritage significance for its strong association with former Colonial Architect Edmund Thomas Blacket (1817-1883) and Abdul Wade (1866-1928). Northwood was among the last residences designed by Edmund Blacket, one of NSW's most distinguished architects, prior to his death. Abdul Wade, an Afghan cameleer and businessman, was a leader in developing camel transport in far west NSW, Queensland, and South Australia. Wade's ownership of Northwood House represents a notable instance in NSW history as a marine villa purchased and occupied by an Afghan migrant family and reflects Wade's efforts to establish himself and his family in genteel Australian society at a time of growing hostility towards non-European migrants. Northwood House and Cottage is of State significance as a fine, relatively intact example of Blacket's late period of domestic architecture. Northwood House demonstrates the typical characteristics of Blacket's domestic portfolio of the late 1870s and early 1880s, reflecting his talent for picturesque composition in a simpler, more vernacular expression. The item also serves as a representative example of a late 19th century marine villa featuring 2 surviving landmark plantings from its original Gardenesque landscaping, despite the substantial reduction of its grounds due to subdivision.

Description


Designer/Maker:	Edmund Blacket
Builder/Maker:	John and James Eaton
Construction years:	1878-1878
Physical description:	Northwood House and Cottage is an item comprising buildings and adjoining land. It comprises a 2-storey sandstone building constructed in 1878, a 2-storey detached cottage to the north-west, and associated landscaping. GROUNDS AND GARDEN Northwood House and Cottage is set in a substantial garden featuring mature flowering shrubs and trees, landscaped paths and a c.1986 sandstone palisade fence. While the majority of plantings date from major landscaping in c.1986, 2 landmark plantings in the front garden are likely contemporary with the construction of Northwood House: a bull bay magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora), which is visible in a c.1880s photograph of the house, and a Canary Island date palm (Phoenix canariensis). While not original, the landscaping retains the Gardenesque conventions of typical marine villa gardens, notably the use of a formal layout, careful positioning of exotic 'specimen' trees and shrubs and sandstone retaining walls, columns and fence bases complementing the architecture of the house. Much of the sandstone used was quarried directly from the site. NORTHWOOD HOUSE Northwood House is a substantial 2-storey late Victorian marine villa with hipped and gabled roof designed in 1878 by Edmund Blacket. The villa is constructed from sandstone blocks and bricks laid in narrow courses with dressed stone quoins and substantial stone chimneys. The roof features a projecting gabled bay with contemporary timber barge boards and finials. Originally shingled, the roof was replaced with tiles c.1919 and replaced again with corrugated metal in the late 1980s. The 2-storey wraparound verandah on the south and west elevations was added c.1919, with the present timber joinery and corrugated metal roof added in the late 1980s. Timber-framed double hung sash windows, likely original, are located on the ground and first floors. Internally, the house has been restored to Blacket's original internal configuration, with extensive work undertaken in the 1980s including reconstruction of interior walls, new fine marble and floor tiles, repainting, plastering, restoration or replacement of timber joinery and the conversion of kitchen and bathrooms. In some places, original archways and detailing has been restored from physical evidence; in other places, late Victorian-style detailing has been copied or added. Original timber flooring is present in the 1st-floor bedrooms, however the flooring has been replaced on the ground floor. NORTHWOOD COTTAGE A semi-detached, 2-storey stone cottage with gabled roof, originally a kitchen and servants' quarters, is located adjacent to the northwest corner of Northwood House. The 2nd storey, added at a later stage, features contemporary timber joinery, corrugated metal roof and timber bargeboards and finials which are sympathetic to the main residence. OUTBUILDINGS Contemporary outbuildings include a swimming pool, pool house and 3 car garage.
Physical condition and/or Archaeological potential:	The main residence and cottage are in good physical condition having been substantially restored in the late 1980s. The sandstone facades have been repointed. Interior detailing is not original but reconstructed based on historic evidence. A frieze found underneath paint layers on the ground floor has been repainted throughout.
	Date condition updated:17 Oct 24
Modifications and dates:	Pre-1985 - Original dairy demolished 1985 - Heritage Council approval for three car garage and cellar 1986 - Heritage Council approval for restoration work, alterations and additions and new landscaping. Works included reconstruction of original Blacket interior layout, removal, repolishing and replacement of original Australian cedar internal joinery, reconstruction of staircase.

History

Historical notes:

STATEMENT OF COUNTRY
Northwood House and Cottage is situated on the traditional lands of the Cameraygal (also Cammeraygal, Gamaragal, Cam-mer-ray-gal, Cameraigal) (Aboriginal Heritage Office, 2024). The Cameraygal were amongst the first peoples to interact with colonists of the First Fleet (Tench, 1793).

A substantial number of Aboriginal sites survive in Lane Cove (although not within the listing curtilage), including rock engravings and grinding grooves in sandstone deposits that naturally occur along the waterways (Conyers, 1990). These sites are physical reminders of the Cameraygal's unbroken connection to this Country, which stretches back tens of thousands of years.

LANE COVE
The first mention of Lane Cove occurred on 2 February 1788, a fortnight after the landing of the First Fleet at Warrane (Sydney Cove). The origin of the name is uncertain, with some sources suggesting the 'Lane' was in honour of Lieutenant Michael Lane, a cartographer and colleague of Captain James Cook, or John Lane, a close friend of Governor Arthur Phillip (Farlow, 2011).

Colonisation of Lane Cove began in October 1794, when Lieutenant Governor Francis Grose issued twenty-seven land grants to members of the New South Wales Corps (102nd Regiment). Colonists had a daunting task: clear their heavily wooded grant, establish a wattle-and-daub hut and attempt to cultivate the land. The Cameraygal, who were increasingly isolated from their traditional lands, carried out retaliatory attacks on early colonists (Collins, 1975).

Positioned on easily accessible peninsulas along a river, Lane Cove became a key source of timber, animal feed and lime for the early colony. Farms, orchards and dairies were established in Lane Cove, with produce shipped downriver to the waiting Sydney markets.

THE DAVY FAMILY
Abraham Davy was born into a Quaker family in England in 1808. At 22, Davy was sentenced to penal servitude for embezzlement. He was pardoned in 1837 and married Jane Dawson of Sydney in October the following year.
Davy established a successful tea business and, by 1845, ran a general grocery store in Sydney's Hunter Street. His business dealings expanded into real estate during the 1850s-60s, with the prosperous Davy purchasing Harrington Park as his residence (Lenehan, 1987). Davy's death in April 1874 left a substantial estate, including property in Darling Harbour, Lane Cove, Marrickville, Paddington, Braidwood and St George's Basin near Jervis Bay.

Jane Davy commissioned architect Edmund Blacket to build a house on her husband's holding in Lane Cove, which she had inherited upon his death. The property, purchased by Davy between 1872-74, had formerly been part of the Nichols Estate. Situated on the southern portion of what is now Northwood, the property had views over Sydney Harbour suited to a palatial home.

EDMUND BLACKET
Edmund Blacket was a prominent architect born in Surrey in August 1817. Following his emigration to Australia in 1842, he succeeded Mortimer Lewis as the Colonial Architect in 1849. After five years, Blacket resigned as Colonial Architect in favour of a private commission by the Senate of the University of Sydney to design its first buildings. In private practice Blacket became renowned for his practice of traditional Gothic architecture, designing schools, colleges, hospitals, residences and numerous Anglican churches in this style across New South Wales (Woffenden, 1969). Blacket died at his Petersham residence in February 1883.

NORTHWOOD HOUSE
Blacket accepted the tender of John W. and James A. E. Eaton for 1502 pounds in October 1877 (Lenehan, 1987). His design comprised a two-storey sandstone residence in a marine villa style with gabled roof, containing an entrance hall, eight large rooms and a kitchen. Outbuildings included stables, ancillary buildings and a dairy. The sandstone used for the residence was quarried from the site.

The residence, named Northwood House, was set in a substantial landscaped garden in a 'villa garden' style and accessed via a lengthy winding driveway shaded by camphor laurels (Aitken, 2002). Mrs Davy's enthusiasm for such gardens may have developed alongside her late husband, who executed an extensive planting program at Harrington Park (Britton and Morris, 2000). An 1880s photograph of the house shows a newly-planted bull bay magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora) which is still present today.

Jane Davy was a prominent member of the Lane Cove community and actively contributed to the development of the locality. Over the next twenty-five years, Mrs Davy purchased additional land in Northwood, encouraged the provision and maintenance of roads and donated her private wharf and three acres of surrounding land for public use. The land was zoned as Northwood Park in September 1888. The suburb around Northwood took its name from the Davy home.
By 1893, Jane's son William Davy lived at Wyndarra north-west of Northwood House and her daughter and son-in-law Helen and Joseph Neave were living at Burdoe just to the west of Northwood House. Both houses are still extant. William was nominated as an alderman on Lane Cove Council and Joseph Neave was a prominent Quaker. Neave interceded with the author Tolstoy and the Tsar of Russia in 1899 to allow members of the persecuted ethno-religious Doukhobor group to be transferred from Russia to Canada (Doukhobor Heritage, 2024).

Mrs Davy died in November 1903. In December 1904, the Permanent Trustee Co (acting in the estate of Abraham Davy) subdivided the harbour frontage of the Northwood Point Estate into 48 large residential sites. Northwood House itself, its outbuildings, and a further 13 acres, were also part of the subdivision. H.W Horning and Co's auction notice described the house as a 'substantial stone residence with its charming grounds and unrivalled position' (National Library of Australia, MAP LFSP 1911).

ABDUL WADE
Northwood House was purchased in 1904 by Abdul Wade (Abdul Wahid Khan), an Afghani emigrant who had become a naturalised British citizen in 1902. Since his arrival in Australia in 1882, Wade had built a business empire including camel transport businesses in far west New South Wales and far north Queensland, a camel-breeding station in Wangamana, and a mine in Chillagoe (Butta, 2024). His purchase of Northwood House may have been a deliberate move to 'announce himself as a man of means, in the heart of Sydney's social and business circles' (Butta, 2024).

Northwood House was the principal residence for Wade and his wife Emily (nee Murcutt) with five children born to the couple there. In 1905, the couple's newborn son Abdul Russell died at Northwood House. Wade however returned to reside at Wangamana Station in c.1914-15 and sold Northwood House in 1917, with his wife moving to Chatswood.
Despite his achievements, Wade's Afghani heritage was a cause of rampant discrimination. This included the rejection of his son's application for admittance to Duntroon and various racialized mentions of Wade and his colleagues in local newspapers. Attitudes of the time likely also contributed to perceptions about Wade's occupation of Northwood House: according to 'local legend', he used the house as a camel depot and eventually lost the property in a card game. Neither legend is based in fact: historical reports and contemporary oral histories do not note camels ever being brought to Northwood by Wade, where he strove to present as entirely British and integrate his family into Sydney society. Wade's last shipment of camels to Australia was in 1903, prior to his purchase of Northwood House, with the camels housed at his station in Wangamana. Wade did donate six camels to the Ministry of Defence during the First World War; however, these camels were transported via railway from his station in Wangamana directly to the army camp at Menangle Park (Newcastle Morning Herald and Miner's Advocate, 1916). Likewise, historical records note that Wade began subdividing the remaining 13 acres around Northwood House from November 1911 onwards rather than losing the estate in any gambling pursuits (National Library of Australia, 1911).

TWENTIETH CENTURY
Following the Wade subdivision in 1911, the Northwood Estate was subdivided again in 1918 and 1919, with the 13 acres around Northwood House substantially reduced. Northwood House itself passed through several owners, including the Russells, Arthurs, Hercuses and Pottses. By 1919, the shingled roof had been replaced with tiles and a two-storey stucco verandah had been added.

From c.1939 to c.1943, Dr Leonard and Beverley Robinson ran a school for children 'not progressing in conventional school' at Northwood House (The Sydney Morning Herald, 1940). The Sealy School offered swimming, carpentry, tennis, music and physical culture lessons taught by Dr Robinson, an educational psychologist. A tennis court was noted in a 1943 valuation list for the property (Lane Cove Library, 2024). Following the Robinson's ownership, Northwood House was divided into three flats.

LATE TWENTIETH CENTURY RESTORATION
On 10 August 1984, an Interim Conservation Order was placed over Northwood House in response to a proposed subdivision of the grounds and demolition of the stables. In 1985, the house was purchased by Antonino and Carmel Gaudioso. Educated in mosaic tiling to maestro level in Florence, Italy, Antonino had emigrated and began his tessellated tiling business in 1970. Antonino supplied tiles for SHR listed buildings including the Queen Victoria Building, Mount Royal, Shubra Hall and The Strand Arcade.

Northwood House was restored by the Gaudiosos with reference to the original Blacket architectural drawings. The Gaudiosos restored the interior layout and replaced the c.1919 stucco verandah columns with timber joinery referencing an 1880s photograph of Northwood. Utilising his traditional craftsmanship, Antonino embellished the interiors of Northwood House with decorative plaster, paintwork, tiles and marble, while Carmel furnished the house in a Victorian style. The surrounding garden was landscaped in a Gardenesque style in keeping with the age of the main residence. A three-car garage and cellar were also added.

A Permanent Conservation Order was gazetted over Northwood House on 1 August 1986. Northwood House was transferred to the State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.

Assessment of significance


SHR Criteria a) [Historical significance]	Northwood House and Cottage is of State significance as an example of a late 19th century marine villa overlooking the Lane Cove River. Built in 1878 and designed by renowned NSW architect Edmund Blacket, it is the oldest surviving structure in Northwood, lending its name to the suburb. Once part of the expansive Northwood Estate, the residence exemplifies the built form character of the North Shore before the late 19th century subdivisions. Grand marine villas were originally built by prominent families near Sydney Harbour as symbols of exclusive wealth in the early colony. Northwood House exemplifies a class of marine villa that emerged in the late 19th century, established by affluent middle-class families as Sydney's peninsulas became more accessible. Characteristic of marine villas, Northwood House was designed to maximize its views of the water and its prominence in the landscape. Although repeated subdivision and surrounding development have diminished its visual prominence, the villa still retains its elevated position and views of the Lane Cove River, reflecting the early phases of development and land subdivision patterns along the river. Following Davy's death, Northwood House was acquired by influential cameleer and businessman Abdul Wade. His ownership of Northwood House from 1904-c.1917 is notable in NSW as the only known possession of a marine villa by an Afghan migrant in the early 20th century, highlighting Wade's success, status, and determination to integrate into mainstream Australian society. Ultimately, racial discrimination led Wade to return to the NSW's far west. Unverified local 'legends' from Wade's time at Northwood-such as its use as a camel depot and the tale of him losing the estate in a poker game-reflect the racial biases faced by non-European migrants during that time.
SHR Criteria b) [Associative significance]	Northwood House and Cottage is of State heritage significance for its strong association with eminent NSW architect Edmund Thomas Blacket (1817-1883) and Abdul Wade (1866-1928). Edmund Blacket designed Northwood House in 1878. A former Colonial Architect and one of Australia's foremost practitioners in the Victorian Gothic style, Blacket designed a substantial number of ecclesiastical and public buildings throughout NSW. Northwood House is part of the smaller portfolio of domestic architecture that Blacket designed for wealthy clients. Relatively modest in size and detailing compared to his earlier domestic work, Northwood was among the last residences designed by Blacket before his death. Abdul Wahid Khan (Wade) owned Northwood House from 1904-c.1917. Often regarded as the best-known Afghan cameleer in Australia, Wade played a pivotal role in establishing camel transport in far west NSW. He was also civic minded, offering his entire camel stock to support the war effort during World War I. His success led to a substantial fortune and his naturalisation as a British citizen in 1902. Wade is the only known Afghan migrant to have owned a palatial home in Sydney, reflecting his determination to establish himself in the centre of Australian society when attitudes to non-European migrants were often deeply racist.
SHR Criteria g) [Representativeness]	Northwood House and Cottage is of State significance as a fine, relatively intact example of Edmund Blacket's late period of domestic architecture. While Blacket's ecclesiastical work is his primary contribution to the architectural history of NSW, his domestic portfolio is important in demonstrating an evolution in style throughout his professional life. In the 1870s, Blacket transitioned from ambitious Victorian Gothic, Italianate, and Regency residences to simpler, asymmetrical villas featuring prominent gables, half-verandahs, and characteristic brackets under the windowsills. Although Blacket's later work adopted a more vernacular approach, it continued to display his talent for picturesque composition and distinctive projecting features. Northwood House expresses all typical characteristics of Blacket's later designs executed in fine sandstone quarried from the site. While the original half-verandah was converted into a two-storey wraparound verandah c.1919, the overall architectural intent remains clear, and the exterior is largely intact. Northwood House and Cottage is also representative of a class of marine villas that emerged in the late 19th century as affluent middle-class residences oriented around Sydney Harbour. However, much of the original estate's extensive landscaped setting, including the carriage drive, has been removed by late 19th and 20th century subdivisions. A surviving landmark bull bay magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora) and Canary Island date palm (Phoenix canariensis) in the front garden are remnants of the original Gardenesque landscaping typical of marine villas.
