The Hermitage, Vaucluse, Victorian Gothic mansion in Vaucluse, Australia.
The Hermitage features multiple gables on the roof, detailed barge boards, and a castellated tower overlooking Sydney Harbour from Pennant Avenue.
The main residence, completed in 1878, underwent restoration by Emil Sodersten after a severe fire damaged the structure in 1936.
The architectural design draws influence from Roslyndale, incorporating Victorian Rustic Gothic elements that represent Australian colonial residential preferences.
The property includes both the main house from 1878 and a smaller building constructed around 1840 by Alexander Dick.
Woolworths company utilized the property as a staff training center between 1964 and its return to residential status.
