Kedron Lodge, Heritage mansion in Wooloowin, Australia.

Kedron Lodge is a two-storeyed sandstone villa of twenty rooms beside Kedron Brook at 123 Nelson Street, Kalinga. John Petrie built it from stone quarried at his Albion quarry, and its irregular outline comes from several steeply pitched gable roofs and five brick chimneys. A string course marks the two floors; the entrance porch opens into a square front hall with the cedar staircase and cellar, ending at a long gallery linking the rear wings.

Kedron Lodge was designed by architect Christopher Porter and built by John Petrie for Alfred James Lutwyche, Queensland's first Supreme Court judge, who bought 35 acres for £35 in January 1860. William Henry Kent added a ballroom around 1890–1905, and William Walton later subdivided the estate. The Catholic Church owned it from 1930 to 1989, using it as a priests' home, convent and youth refuge.

The Catholic Church owned the property from 1930 to 1989, transforming it from a priests' residence to a convent and later into a youth refuge.

Kedron Lodge stands at the corner of Nelson Street in Kalinga, beside Kedron Brook, with a Catholic church on its left and the church hall behind. The grounds hold a swimming pool and little planting. The building is a private residence, so the interior is not open to visitors; the house and its five chimneys are seen from the street.

Kedron Lodge was designed by Christopher Porter, a less well-known architect, and built by John Petrie using sandstone from Petrie's own Albion Quarry. The house is a rare Queensland example of a substantial Colonial Gothic residence in stone, comparable to Toorak House. Its grounds today hold a swimming pool and little planting, and a Catholic church stands on its left with the church hall behind.
