Richmond Villa is located on top of a rock shelf above the level of Kent Street, in the inner city suburb of Millers Point. The heritage listed house was designed by Mortimer Lewis and built in 1851 in the Gothic Revival architectural style. It is constructed from sandstone which was quarried in this vicinity.
Nice house, looks very colonial.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful house!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if we crossed paths the day you took this? This is the area we work in everyday, and I never tire of looking at this wonderful building.
ReplyDeleteIt's quite possible. I'll keep an eye out for you next time. ;)

ReplyDeleteA very unique row of dwellings Jim.
ReplyDeleteThat's a very substantial house. Barring an earthquake, it should stand for many generations.
