Carclew, Federation mansion in North Adelaide, Australia.

The three-story sandstone building features rusticated brick quoins, ornate woodwork, and a grand ballroom overlooking Adelaide city centre.

Built in 1897 by businessman Hugh Robert Dixson, the property was renamed Carclew in 1908 by Sir John Langdon Bonython after his Cornish ancestral area.

Since 1971, the mansion operates as South Australia's principal multi-art organization, providing artistic development programs and workshops for young people.

The mansion offers venue rental services for events, with discounted rates available for young artists under 26 years and non-profit organizations.

The site supported John McDouall Stuart's expedition, marking the first European crossing of the Australian continent from south to north.
