Carclew, Federation mansion in North Adelaide, Australia.

Carclew is a two-storey Federation-style mansion of sandstone with rusticated brick quoins and cement decoration, topped by an iron roof except for the slate roof of its three-storey tower. Timber balconies and verandahs run along the facades, and ornate woodwork decorates the gables. A decorated archway at the main entrance opens into an entrance hall with the main staircase.

The house was built in 1897 as a private residence and was renamed in 1908 after a region in southwest England. It was converted to an arts center in the 1970s, transforming its purpose from a family home to a space for artistic development.

The house serves as a working arts space where young artists regularly create, rehearse, and perform across multiple disciplines. Visitors can observe studios, rehearsal rooms, and galleries in active use throughout the building.

Carclew stands on Montefiore Hill beside Light's Vision, overlooking the Adelaide city centre from North Adelaide. The building is run by the South Australian Government-funded youth arts organisation, so access to the interior depends on its programme; check with the organisation before planning a visit. The commemorative plaque about Stuart's expedition is on the surrounding wall, visible from the street.

James Chambers, who bought the site in 1861, sponsored John McDouall Stuart's expedition, which set off from here and became the first successful European crossing of the continent. Chambers died at the property before Stuart returned; a plaque on the surrounding wall marks the departure.
