Modern-day Darwin is dominated by bland single-storey, air-conditioned houses — but before Cyclone Tracy there were some strikingly original buildings in the suburbs.

It is the oldest house in Darwin and, unlike many of the city's heritage buildings, has also remained in residential use since it was built in the 1870s — today it is also known as the Official Residence of the Administrator."It's very interesting to associate that idea of a gothic residence with the tropics," Mr Bridgman said.

"That idea of the building taking in the environment is very much a gothic approach to architecture — the monument on the hill, effectively."
