Stead House, Victorian Italianate residence in Marrickville, Sydney, Australia
The mansion at 12 Leicester Street features ornate architectural details, extensive gardens, and multiple wings added throughout its existence.
Built in the 1850s as Waterloo Villa, the property transformed under Samuel Cook's ownership in 1892 with significant Italianate modifications.
The building served multiple community purposes, from a grand private residence to a Salvation Army hospital supporting local healthcare needs.
Now converted into apartments, the heritage-listed building maintains its original exterior while providing modern residential spaces in Sydney's inner west.
The property's gardens once contained noteworthy collections of exotic trees and extensive rose beds planted during Samuel Cook's ownership period.
