Verge produced a number of fine houses in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs including Tusculum, Rockwall House, Barham at Potts Point and Rose Bay Lodge. He also built Lyndhurst and Toxteth Park in The Suburb Of Glebe . Verge is also believed to have worked on Elizabeth Bay House built for Alexander Macleay , the Colonial Secretary . John Bibb who worked for Verge also worked on the project and James Hume from Scotland supervised the building. The relative contributions of Verge, Bibb and Hume are unknown. However, the beautiful oval staircase hall, perhaps the most celebrated interior in early Australian architecture, is attributed to Verge. Verge's work was not confined to Sydney. 'Bedervale' homestead near Braidwood built in 1842 was designed by Verge. {Link without Title} Verge was also commissioned by John Macarthur to build Camden Park House south of Sydney by John Macarthur , the wool pioneer and successful colonial businessman.
