High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Admiralty House is the official Sydney residence of the Governor-General of Australia. It is located in the suburb of Kirribilli, on the northern foreshore of Sydney Harbour. This large, Italianate, sandstone mansion occupies the tip of Kirribilli Point. Once known as Wotonga , it has commanding views across Sydney Harbour to the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House. Its current name originates in the fact that it served as the residence for the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Navy s Australian Squadron from 1885 to 1913. The original building on the site was completed, as a private dwelling, in mid-to-late 1843, by Colonel John George Nathaniel Gibbes, the then Collector of Customs for New South Wales. A portrait of Gibbes, painted in 1808, hangs in the house.
