Raymont Lodge, Heritage-listed residence in Auchenflower, Australia

The two-story mansion features multiple drawing rooms, a library, dining areas, and verandahs enclosing three sides of the building structure.

Built between 1904 and 1905 by mining entrepreneur William Davies, architect Claude William Chambers won a competition for the building design.

The mansion, originally named Drysllwyn, transformed into Raymont Lodge in 1945 when the Methodist Church established it as a hostel for students.

The residential college now accommodates 130 tertiary students attending nearby institutions like the University of Queensland and Queensland University of Technology.

The Federation-style building contains decorative stained glass windows, ornate plaster moldings, and deep verandas reflecting early 1900s Australian architecture.
