Description:
Ecclesbourne at 17 Ocean Avenue, Double Bay, Sydney, was built in the 1840s by a businessman named Thomas Whistler Smith (1824-1859) on land that was then part of the Glenrock Estate, Darling Point. The property was later owned by his brother Eustace Smith (1825-1872) who sold Ecclesbourne in 1857 to Sydney solicitor James Norton (1824-1906). Norton made extensive alterations to the house in the 1870s. James Norton died at Ecclesbourne in 1906, his widow Harriott died there in 1910 and the house later became a private hotel and then a boarding house. It was purchased by the Cancer Patients Assistance Society of NSW in 1978 and until early 2010 was used to accommodate relatives and carers of cancer patients.
