Rhyndarra, Victorian mansion in Yeronga, Australia

Rhyndarra is a two-story brick residence in Yeronga with high stone foundations and broad verandahs wrapping the exterior. The interior showcases cedar joinery, cast iron details, and marble fireplaces throughout multiple rooms.

William Williams, manager of the Australasian Steam Navigation Company, had Andrea Stombuco design Rhyndarra in 1888; it was built in 1888–1889 for £3,200 by contractor R Smith. Financial overreach forced Williams to hand the mortgaged estate to the AMP Society, which in 1905 subdivided it into 13 residential lots, leaving about 12 acres. The Salvation Army ran a girls' school here from 1897 to 1942, after which it served as a military hospital until the late 1990s.

The Salvation Army ran this building as an industrial school for orphaned girls between 1897 and 1942, shaping the social fabric of the neighborhood. The institution reflected broader community efforts to provide education and training for disadvantaged young women.

The property sits on Riverview Place in a residential neighborhood surrounded by modern houses and a nearby riverside park. The setting is easily accessible from main roads with clear views of the heritage structure from street level.

The house's stable was converted into a schoolroom for the younger girls of the Yeronga Girls' Industrial School, while older girls attended state schools or learned needlework in a workroom and helped milk the cows. The drawing and dining rooms, their folding doors removed, became the main dormitory.
