Richmond Villa, Colonial Georgian villa in Millers Point, Sydney, Australia

Richmond Villa is a sandstone mansion in Millers Point with Gothic Revival features positioned on an artificial rock shelf along Kent Street. The structure contains multiple rooms with high ceilings and preserves its original 19th-century floor plan.

The building was constructed in 1851 under architect Mortimer Lewis as a private residence. It was disassembled from its original site and relocated to its current position in 1977, where it has remained.

The building displays Gothic Revival features that were uncommon in early Australian domestic architecture. Visitors can notice these European influences in the windows and decorative details throughout the rooms.

The building currently houses a genealogy society that offers historical research materials and documentation services. Visitors should be aware that access depends on the operating hours and activities of the organization based there.

The building was completely disassembled in 1977 and reconstructed at a new location, making it one of Australia's earliest examples of successful architectural relocation. This process allowed it to be saved from demolition while keeping its original structure intact.
