Babworth House, Heritage house in Darling Point, Sydney, Australia
Babworth House stands at 103 Darling Point Road, featuring Federation Arts and Crafts architecture with detailed craftsmanship and modern elements throughout its structure.
Construction of the residence occurred between 1912 and 1915 by W. Gawne and Son, following designs from architects Mortimer Lewis, Edmund Blacket, and Morrow and De Putron.
The property reflects the social status of Sydney elite families, particularly the Hordern family who commissioned its construction and lived there until 1956.
The building transitioned from a private residence to nurses' accommodation, maintaining its structural integrity while adapting to new functional requirements over time.
The site contains archaeological evidence of an 1830s vineyard with terraces designed by Thomas Shepherd, New South Wales' first professional nurseryman and landscape designer.
