Aberglasslyn, Heritage-listed Victorian residence in Hunter Region, Australia

Aberglasslyn House features a two-story structure constructed from Ravensfield sandstone, with a geometric staircase beneath a hemispherical dome at its center point.

The construction of Aberglasslyn House commenced in 1840 under architect John Verge, following George Hobler's purchase of the estate for 5,000 pounds in 1836.

The Greek Revival architectural design of Aberglasslyn House represents the aspirations and architectural preferences of colonial settlers in nineteenth-century New South Wales.

The residence contains multiple completed sections including the entrance hall, stair hall, drawing room, and breakfast room, while other areas remain in their original unfinished state.

The property experienced a notable transition from private residence to boarding school, reflecting the adaptability of historical buildings through different periods of Australian history.
