Swifts (also known as The Swifts) is a late-Victorian castellated Gothic Revival mansion located in the suburb of Darling Point, Sydney. Swifts is a rare survivor of a group of similar grand private residences sited on the southern shore of Sydney Harbour. It is described by the Australian Heritage Council as “perhaps the grandest house remaining in Sydney”.〔http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/heritageapp/ViewHeritageItemDetails.aspx?ID=2711128〕 It has federal and state heritage listings.〔(State Heritage Website )〕 Designed by G. A. Morrell, Swifts was built in 1875–1882 by Sir Robert Lucas Lucas-Tooth, the distinguished Australian brewer.〔http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/tooth-sir-robert-lucas-lucas--4732〕 In the 1880s, Sir Robert Lucas-Tooth had the house significantly remodelled in the style and likeness of his family home, Great Swifts Manor in Cranbrook, Kent.〔http://www.cranbrook.org/greatswiftsmanor.pdf〕〔http://www.cranbrook.org/swifts_park.php〕 The house was subsequently purchased by the Resch family, also brewers, and eventually bequeathed by Edmund Resch Jnr to the Roman Catholic Church upon his death in 1963. In 1997, Swifts was acquired by the Moran family and underwent total restoration and renovation.〔Chancellor, 2008; Swifts Sydney, 2012〕 In 2013, Dr Shane Moran bought out the last remaining interest from his family members and became the sole owner of Swifts through a wholly owned company. ==History==
