Cliffbrook, University research building in Coogee, Australia

The two-story mansion features sandstone quoins, liver brick construction, and colonnades, with a slate roof and stone walls surrounding the property.

Built in 1921 by Sir Denison Miller, the first Governor of the Commonwealth Bank, on land originally granted to surveyor Lewis Gordon in 1845.

The mansion incorporates Georgian maple staircases, Art Deco windows, Victorian marble chimneys, and Adam Revival plaster ceilings into its design elements.

The University of New South Wales currently operates this facility as an administrative center, research facility, and location for UNSW Press publications.

During World War II, the Australian military transformed this private residence into a school of tropical medicine for army personnel.
