Caroline Chisholm Cottage, Heritage site and former hospital in East Maitland, Australia.
The sandstone building contains four front rooms facing Mill Street, with a timber shingle roof covered by corrugated iron and a western verandah.
Built between 1831 and 1835, the cottage served as the East Maitland Immigrants' Home where Caroline Chisholm provided shelter for homeless immigrants in 1842.
The building represents early Australian working-class housing and stands as the sole remaining structure connected to Caroline Chisholm's immigration assistance work.
The cottage maintains two entrances at each end of the western verandah, with rooms directly connecting through doorways without internal corridors.
The structure retains its original configuration from the 1830s, including the placement of windows, doors, and internal room arrangements.
