Large three storeyed house of 100 rooms.
Cliveden was built for Sir William J. Clarke, landholder and MLC. The Illustrated Australian News 5 March 1887, proclaimed the house to be "One of the largest private residences erected in the Colony". It included 28 bedrooms, five bathrooms and 17 servants' bedrooms, and a ballroom 100 ft by 50 ft. Sold in 1909, after Lady Clarke's death, to the Baillieu family who added a fourth floor and converted it, to the design of architects Grainger & Little, into some fifty luxury self contained apartments. Miles Lewis in Suburban Backlash explains, "It had a common dining room, or meals could be served to residents in the flats, but there were no kitchens." It was sold for demolition in 1968. The Hilton Hotel now stands on the site
