Roseneath Cottage

Roseneath, an elegant Colonial Georgian style residence, was built between 1835 and 1837 as a family home for Scottish emigrant, Janet Templeton and her children. Overlooking the northern section of Parramatta Park (formerly Governor's Domain), the building housed several private schools in the latter half of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
