Record numberLH010314Datec1880sDescriptionFairlight House, Fairlight, formerly known as Manly, built in 1859 to 1860 by Henry Gilbert Smith, who is often referred to as the founder of Manly. The home was designed in a Georgian style, by colonial Architect, Edmund Thomas Blacket. The tower was added in the 1880's by a later owner John Woods of Manly, Gentleman. Fairlight House was demolished in May, 1939. All that remains is the stone wall facing the harbour.
