Darling House, Historic residence in Dawes Point, Sydney, Australia

Built in sandstone, Darling House contains eight spacious rooms with high ceilings and features architectural elements from the Georgian colonial period in Australia.

The property, constructed in 1842 by Joseph Farris, received its name from an original land grant issued by Governor Darling during the early settlement period.

The residence stands as an example of early European influences in Australian architecture, incorporating local sandstone materials with traditional Georgian design principles.

Located near Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House, this heritage-listed property now functions as a luxury senior living facility with nine independent suites.

The building survived the 1900 Bubonic Plague cleanup operation when numerous surrounding structures in The Rocks area faced demolition due to health concerns.
