Facts and practical information

Lydham Hall is a State heritage-listed former rural residence at 18 Lydham Avenue, Rockdale in New South Wales, Australia. It is constructed from stone quarried locally and stands on the highest point of land between the Cooks River and the Georges Rivers. The Street previously known as Joseph Street was 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 is owned by the Bayside Council. Initially, the Permanent Conservation Order No 477 in pursuance of section 44 of the Heritage Act 1977, was applied to the property since 20th August, 1986. In 1999, it was included into the New South Wales State Heritage Register since its implementation. Lydham Hall is now a museum open to the public with a collection of furniture and objects dated within the period 1860 to 1920. ()
