History

Name

in 1845 Robert and Georgiana Lowe commissioned a gothic style house designed by architect Mortimer Lewis. They named it Bronte House in honor of Admiral Lord Nelson, who was the 1st Duke of Bronte. The suburb was named for the house, which still stands at 470 Bronte Road and can be visited on open days
