}}Chislehurst was a large house built in 1892 by the merchant and pastoralist John de Villiers Lamb. It was originally known as Maroomba.

History

In 1900, the house was bought from Lamb by a K. Weidlmann. In 1906, Edward Carr Hordern, a member of the Hordern family of retailers, bought the house from Weidlmann. It was renamed Chiselhurst after the birthplace of Carr's wife Lillie. Hordern expanded the house significantly and lived there until his death in 1940. His widow and sister continued to live there until the house was vacated in 1954. The property was then acquired by the Department of Education as a site for Chatswood High School, which opened in 1959.[1][2][3][4][5]
