Stead House, a grand Victorian Italianate residence located in Marrickville, a suburb of Sydney's Inner West, was initially established as "Waterloo Villa" sometime in the early 1850s by Archibald Mitchell on part of the 30 acre grant known as "Wain's Farm". Stead House is an excellent example of a remnant grand estate house that is the product of a series of alterations and additions by owner Samuel Cook, manager of The Sydney Morning Herald in the late 19th century and The Salvation Army who purchased the property in 1911, following Cook's death in 1910.
