Crows Nest was the name of an estate founded by Edward Wollstonecraft in 1819 when he received a 524 acre (2.1 km²) land grant in this area and extending to today's suburb of Wollstonecraft.

This site is now the building site of North Sydney Demonstration School and the gates of Crows Nest House still stand at the Pacific Highway entrance to the school.
