The Bath House

 

bathhouse.jpgIn 1822 Colonial Architect S L Harris designed the Bath House for Governor Brisbane and built it the following year. Water was pumped to the Bath House through lead pipes from the nearby river, while used water was run off through drains of tunnelled brickwork and into a nearby duck pond. In 1886, Park Trustees converted the Bath House into a pavilion, which is the current form of the Bath House.

The Bath House is representative of two periods of use of the landscape of Parramatta Park, one as a Governor's Domain up to 1855 and then as a public park.

On 25 April 1976 the Bath House was classified by the National Trust of Australia (NSW) and included in the Register of the National Estate in 1981 by the Australian Heritage Commission.
