The Swifts, Gothic Revival mansion in Darling Point, Sydney, Australia

Swifts is a late-Victorian castellated Gothic Revival mansion in Darling Point, Sydney, designed by G. A. Morrell and built in stages from around 1873 to 1882. Its sandstone facade has five deep ground-level arches, rectangular windows with vertical mullions above a projecting stone band, and a roofline with battlements and two octagonal turrets with pointed caps. The Latin motto Perseverantia Palmam Obtinebit is carved into the eastern facade.

Designed by G. A. Morrell, Swifts was built in stages from around 1873 to 1882 for the brewer Robert Lucas Tooth, later Sir Robert Lucas Lucas-Tooth. In the 1880s he remodelled it after his family home, Great Swifts Manor in Cranbrook, Kent. The property passed to the brewer Edmund Resch and was bequeathed to the Roman Catholic Church by his son in 1963; the Moran family bought it in 1997 and restored it.

The Latin motto Perseverantia Palmam Obtinebit, meaning "perseverance gains the prize", is carved into the eastern façade. The house passed to the brewer Edmund Resch and was bequeathed by his son Edmund Resch Jr to the Roman Catholic Church on his death in 1963. The Moran family bought it in 1997 and restored it; Dr Shane Moran owns it today.

Swifts is a privately owned residence and not open to the public, so the house and its grounds cannot be toured. The building is visible from Darling Point Road and from the harbour, where the castellated roofline, turrets and five ground-level arches of the sandstone facade can be seen from outside.

The Latin motto Perseverantia Palmam Obtinebit, meaning "perseverance gains the prize", is carved into the eastern facade of Swifts. It was chosen by Sir Robert Lucas Lucas-Tooth, the brewer who built the house, and is often read as a comment on the lives of its successive owners.
