Tusculum Villa, Royal Institute of Architects, 1-3 Manning Street, Potts Point, Sydney

Woolloomooloo Hill was once a very exclusive suburb - houses had to cost at least 1000 pounds, face the city and be approved by the Governor. Tusculum, designed by John Verge, fit the criteria and is an example of the mansions that once dominated this area. Tusculum is now the headquarters of the NSW chapter of the Royal Australian Institute of Architects. In the new building at the rear is a architectural bookshop, Architext, open to the public.
