Lindesay and Carthona

Patricia Jacobsen

2016

Lindesay, built between 1834 and 1836 for Colonial Treasure Campbell Drummond Riddell, is the oldest surviving residence in Darling Point. It was the home of Surveyor-General Thomas Mitchell in 1841 while he built Carthona. The houses have since passed through the hands of a number of notable Darling Point residents and although the grounds of both have been subdivided, remain significant elements of the harbourside landscape.
