The Manor, Mosman, Federation mansion in Mosman, Australia
The Manor stands at Iluka Road with fifty-five rooms spread across six allotments, featuring copper-lined interiors and Federation Queen Anne architectural details.
William John Bakewell commissioned the construction of this residence in 1911, which expanded from an initial plan of eight rooms to a grand mansion.
The Theosophical Society acquired the property in 1925, transforming it into a center for their spiritual and educational activities.
The Manor operates as a retirement community with modern amenities, including an indoor pool, dining facilities, and 24-hour emergency support systems.
In 1926, radio station 2GB started broadcasting from The Manor, marking an early chapter in Australian broadcasting history.
