The attractive site on the banks of the Swan River, just east of the historic town of Guildford, was originally taken up by the colony’s first Governor, Captain James Stirling. By 1831, he had built a cottage there, a retreat from Government House.The property was purchased in 1883 by Charles Harper, farmer, politician, explorer, Anglican chaplain and part owner of The West Australian newspaper. He proceeded to display his position and wealth by building the current house. In 1896, Harper established Guildford Grammar School in his billiard room, and fourteen years later the Anglican Church purchased the entire property – land, building and furniture – for the school.
On the river side of the main house is this quaint outbuilding which now serves as a restaurant. The other side of this building looks down to and across the Swan River and offers a fine, elevated rural view for diners
Next to the main Woodbridge House is this outbuilding which is now used as the Warden's Residence and is occupied privately
