Eildon Mansion

City of Port Phillip, Australia

Eildon is a Renaissance Revival style mansion in Grey Street, St Kilda, Melbourne, the largest house in the suburb, and is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register. It began as Barham House, built in 1850 for Edward Bernard Green, then altered and enlarged in 1872 to the design of Reed & Barnes for pastoralist John Currie, and renamed Eildon. By 1917 it was a guesthouse, the grounds were greatly reduced in 1921, and again in the 1950s when it became a boarding house. It became the home of the Alliance Francaise in 2006, who sold it in early 2022, the new owners putting it up for sale again in 2023.
