Raheen, Italianate mansion in Kew, Victoria, Australia.
The red brick mansion features a four-story tower above its entrance, single-story extensions, and cement render details across its exterior walls.
Built in 1870 for Carlton Brewery founder Edward Latham, the mansion served as residence for Melbourne's Catholic Archbishops from 1917 to 1981.
The mansion contains original architectural elements including a stairwell, library converted from a ballroom, and cast iron tower stairs from the Victorian period.
The property maintains three acres of land with an Italianate garden, surrounding landscaped areas, and preserved stable structures from the original estate.
The name Raheen translates to 'little fort' in Irish, reflecting the defensive architectural features incorporated into its Victorian-era design.
