Cliveden Mansions, Heritage-listed villa in Spring Hill, Australia

Cliveden Mansions is a heritage-listed villa at 17 Gregory Terrace, Spring Hill, Brisbane. It consists of a two-storey rendered brick house designed by George Henry Male Addison in 1888 and a three-storey timber-framed boarding house extension added to the rear in 1915, also to Addison's design. The front northern addition is thought to date from the same period.

The building was constructed in 1888 by architect George Henry Male Addison and received a boarding house extension in 1915. This transformation shows how urban villas became shared housing.

The building shows how wealthy neighborhoods in Queensland changed over time and how individual houses took on new purposes. You can see this today in the mix of original Victorian rooms and the communal spaces added later for residents.

The property sits in a busy location in Spring Hill, making it easy to reach. The best time to visit is in the morning or early afternoon when the area is quieter.

The 1915 extension was specifically built as a boarding house rather than simply dividing up an existing villa. This is a rare example of how new functions were deliberately integrated into the architecture.
