High Hazels House, commissioned by Sheffield's first Lord Mayor William Jeffcock, and was built "regardless of cost". There were numerous bedrooms, stabling for twelve horses, and a number of outbuildings. The arches that lead to the main entrance were built of the same stone as the Houses of Parliament. It is now home to Tinsley Golf Club. The first hole is close to the house. Following the death of Jeffcock junior, the house was used as a boys' boarding school to avoid the house falling into ruin. In 1901 High Hazels House became a museum which housed a highly valued, interesting collection with many rare pieces relating to Sheffield history. The museum was an extremely popular attribute to the park, attracting over 60,000 visitors a year in its heyday.
