Carthona, Darling Point, Gothic Revival mansion in Darling Point, Australia
Built with sandstone between 1841 and 1845, Carthona stands on a harbor promontory featuring castellated parapets and tall Tudor chimneys at Darling Point.
Sir Thomas Mitchell, the Surveyor General of New South Wales, constructed Carthona and resided there from 1845 until his death in 1855.
The Cooksey sisters transformed the mansion into a Young Ladies' Academy from 1858 to 1872, providing education within its grand halls and gardens.
Located at 5 Carthona Avenue, the mansion maintains its original architectural features including gabled slate roofs and Gothic-style ground floor windows.
The mansion design by James Hume draws inspiration from Lake Windermere residences in England, incorporating pointed windows and shuttered flat arches.
