Eildon Mansion

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 the Barham House, built in c1850 for Edward Bernard Green, then altered and enlarged in 1872 to the design of Reed & Barnes for pastoralist John Currie, and renamed Eildon in 1877.

By 1917 it was a guesthouse, and the grounds were greatly reduced in 1921, and from the 1950s it was 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.
